Sibu Bukit Lima old trail stays closed as upgrades await 2027 start
-
Visitors to Bukit Lima Nature Reserve in Sibu must stay off the damaged old trail, even though upgraded routes elsewhere in the reserve are already available.
DayakDaily’s Oct 25 report quotes Sarawak Forestry Corporation as saying the affected section has been closed for several months, with notices prohibiting entry for safety reasons. SFC has instructed park management to tighten measures against unauthorised access.
The distinction matters for anyone planning a walk: the reported damage concerns the closed old network, not a declaration that every trail in the reserve is shut. Phase 1 facilities, officially opened in July 2026, include a new 600-metre route, an improved two-kilometre route linking the southern and northern entrances, and a One Stop Centre. Visitors should follow the on-site notices and use only designated routes that remain open.
A RM38 million allocation covers Phase 2 development, including construction and upgrading of walking trails and replacement of the damaged section. Work is expected to begin in early 2027. That is a projected start, not a reopening promise; no completion date for the old trail was given in the clarification.
