The sandstone mountain in northeast Sarawak bordering Kalimantan stands at 2,423m. This makes Murud the highest peak in the state and the fourth highest in Malaysia. Murud’s first recorded ascent was by Swedish explorer and naturalist Dr. Eric Mjoberg in 1922, who was then curator of the Sarawak Museum. Over the decades, the mountain has hosted many scientists who come to study its flora and fauna.
