Mukah historically known as Muka is a coastal town which serves as the capital and the administrative center of the Mukah Division since 1 March 2002. The most population in Mukah is Melanau. Melanau (Malay: Orang Melanau, Melanau: Tenawan Melanau) or A-Likou (meaning River people in Mukah dialect) is an ethnic group indigenous to Sarawak, Malaysia. They are among the earliest settlers of Sarawak. They speak in the Melanau language, which is a part of the North Bornean branch of Malayo-Polynesian languages.

3days in Mukah 🎡❤️

For the first time traveling with my partner, I feel that the planning is very challenging but we can handle it, it feels very satisfying with a quite interesting beach and only 10 minutes from Li Hua Hotel . #couplestrip #LiHuaHotelMukah #awesomepic

What a wonderful staycation in Mukah Kingwood Resort with my husband. We stayed in a deluxe room, with walk in price RM110/room, no breakfast included. Room with balcony, a king-size bed, and sea view. It's about 10-15minutes drive from Mukah town area. A quiet and relax place to stay. There is a big restaurant at ground floor. Restaurant provide food with reasonable price, taste is acceptable. There are also private swimming pool and beach. Staffs are friendly too. The only thing is this resort is quite old, some parts needed maintenance. #kingwoodresortmukah #couplestrip #staycation #shortescape

Kaul (or Pesta Kaul) is a Melanau annual "cleansing" when traditionally, uninvited spirits and other bad influences were escorted out of the village by a flotilla of boats, and ceremonial offerings of food, cigarettes and betel nut were set on the Seraheng (decorated pole) at the river mouth.[2] Originating from the animistic beliefs traditionally held by the Melanau people, Kaul is held annually in Bulan Pengejin (The month of the Spirits)[4] of the Melanau Calendar, which is usually in the end of April, as a purification and thanks giving to appease the spirits of the sea called Ipok. It coincides with the end of the Northeast monsoon, once a time of hardship when the sea was too rough to fish and the villages often suffered from flooding. Traditionally, Villages would be palei or taboo for days before Kaul. No one was allowed to leave or enter, and people underwent purification ceremonies during Kaul. The celebration of Kaul concluded with a communal picnic at the river mouth, followed by a return to the village and again three days of prescribed restrictions.
