If you are travelling from peninsular malaysia, the best way is you take a flight depends on mas or airasia f rom Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) to Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. Then travel by express bus RM20 from Kota Kinabalu(KK) to Lawas at 1pm . The bus station is located at..i cant remember but it is the old bus station (quote by local's) just beside the city council field.For the time being..there's only 2 busses travelling from KK to Lawas 7am & 1pm It takes 3-4 hours from KK to Lawas..
But if you're travelling from Kuala Lumpur - Miri..you can take direct fight 45mins from Miri - Lawas for RM77 (MAS Wings) take off on legendary Twin Otter.

How to get here because its' quite remote into the jungle, you have to get-into a fourwheeled drive (most popular 4wd Toyota Hilux) and it takes 1 1/2 - 2 hours journey (approx 68km from Lawas town. -max 10 person in 1 car.
Travel along the rough timber road playground for 4-wheelers will give a new experiences for a 'newbie' that had never been into the jungle.
