Why Go?
Sarawak makes access to Borneo's natural wonders and cultural riches a breeze. From
Kuching, the island's most sophisticated and dynamic city, pristine rainforests - where you
can spot orang-utans, proboscis monkeys, killer crocodiles and the world's largest flower,
the Rafflesia - can be visited on day trips, with plenty of time in the evening for a delicious
meal and a drink in a chic bar. More adventurous travellers can take a 'flying coffin' river-
boat up the Batang Rejang, 'the Amazon of Borneo', to seek out remote longhouses, or fly
to the spectacular bat caves and extraordinary rock formations of Gunung Mulu National
Park, a Unesco World Heritage site. Everywhere you go, you'll encounter the warmth, un-
forced friendliness and sense of humour that make the people of Malaysia's most culturally
diverse state such delightful hosts.
