Kuching, the capital of Sarawak, is a riverside town in the west of the state, located on the banks of the Sarawak River. It is approximately 32 km inland from the South China Sea. The town has landscaped parks and gardens, some elegant colonial buildings, colourful markets and a bustling waterfront.

Longhouse Tour

A holiday in Sarawak is not complete without a visit to the longhouses that are the traditional dwellings of many of the races here such as the Iban, Bidayuh and Orang Ulu.A longhouse is a terraced street of separate dwellings covered by one roof. A tuai rumah (headman) is the head of the longhouse. Every family has their own separate bilik (room). Communal activities are carried out on the ruai (verandah).

Semenggoh Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre

Located about 32 km south of Kuching, the sanctuary is a rehabilitation centre for Orang Utans which have been injured or captured. The centre also rehabilitates other wildlife including monkeys, honey bears and hornbills which have been orphaned or kept illegally.

Bako National Park

Sarawak's oldest national park was established in 1957 on a 2,728 hectare site, about 37 km from Kuching. It is known for its extraordinary variety and natural scenery, habitats, plant and wild life.

A common plant found in abundance is the Dischidea rafflesia, a slender climber bearing special expanded hollow leaves. Ants reside in these hollow leaves and leave their excreta as nutrients for the plant. Others plants include sundew, bladderwort and the notoriously carnivorous pitcher plant.

The unique Proboscis monkey (orang Belanda) can be found in the Borneo riverine forest. Easily distinguished by its enormous cucumber-like nose, it is not uncommon to find the male species lording over a harem of ten mates! The silver langur with the punk-like hairdo is a very shy primate, feeding only on leaves. Their young are easily distinguished by their bright orange colour. Other inhabitants in the park include long-tailed macaques, bearded pigs, leopard cats and giant lizards such as the tree monitors and skinks.

Damai Beach

Damai, Sarawak's main beach resort area, is located on the Santubong Peninsula, which about 35 minutes' drive from Kuching. The area has sandy beaches at the foot of an imposing jungle-covered mountain. Other attractions at Damai include the Sarawak Cultural Village and the sleepy fishing villages of Santubong and Buntal with their excellent seafood restaurants.
