Mudung or Bukit Batu Bora is a mountain in the interior of Sarawak, Malaysia, in the Usun Apau area near the upper Plieran River. A modern gazetteer gives its elevation as 1,465 metres (4,806 ft) and places it at approximately 2°42′58″N 114°42′58″E / 2.7160°N 114.7160°E.[1][2]
The name Batu Bora appears on historical mapping of the Baram district produced by Charles Hose around 1900.[3] Mid-20th-century exploration and geological literature on the Usun Apau Plateau and the Plieran River area also referred to the Batu Bora mountain range.[4][5]
In current Sarawak administrative law, Bukit Batu Bora is used as a named landmark in district and divisional boundary descriptions.[6][7]
