One Week Kuching Excursions
Spend your first day in Kuching tuning into the vibe of the city's kaleidoscopic mix of
cultures and cuisines. Explore the narrow streets of Old Chinatown, ride a tiny passenger
ferry to the English Renaissance-style Fort Margherita, and take a sunset stroll along the
Waterfront Promenade. If it's Saturday, head to the Satok Weekend Market in the after-
noon; if it's Sunday, visit in the morning; and if a giant Rafflesia flower happens to be in
bloom in Gunung Gading National Park , drop everything and rush over before it fades
away. On the way back, explore the Wind Cave and the Fairy Cave . On other days,
combine a daytime excursion with an evening enjoying Kuching's fine eateries and chic
but laid-back nightlife. Spend a half-day spotting orangutans at Semenggoh Nature
Reserve , then drive further inland to the longhouse of Annah Rais , where you can stay
overnight. Take a boat to Bako National Park , keeping an eye out for proboscis mon-
keys, macaques and pitcher plants as you hike around the peninsula. One day spend the
sunset hour cruising around Kuching Wetlands National Park , alert for fireflies, crocs
and proboscis monkeys.
