Sabah, ” The Land Below the Wind”, is mountainous with a lush tropical rainforest. It is a country of unspoiled beauty, fascinating culture, isolated tropical islands, and home to one of the highest mountains in South East Asia, Mount Kinabalu (4,095m). This paradise also offers visitors activities such as jungle trekking, mountaineering, diving, exploration of caves and much more. Kota Kinabalu, the gateway to the rest of Sabah, is also the State Capital. It has a population of around 300,000. Kota Kinabalu or K.K. as it is usually called, is a relatively new town as the original town was destroyed during the Second World War. In the vicinity of Kota Kinabalu there are various places of interest, including the offshore islands, Tanjung Aru Beach, the State Museum and the State Mosque, the Gaya Street Fair every Sunday morning, the “pasar malam” or open night markets where you can test your bargaining skills, and nearby water villages. Kota Kinabalu itself is well served by hotels and restaurants of international standard.

 

Sabah’s population comprises over 30 different races and over 80 different dialects.The 3 main indigenous groups are the Kadazan/Dusun, Bajau and Murut. The Kadazans/Dusuns are found mainly on the West Coast and makes up about one third of the population. They are prosperous agricultural people and are the main rice producers of Sabah. The Bajau are skilled fishermen though there are linguistic and cultural differences between those living on the west and east coast. Those living on the west coast are predominantly farmers and they are well known for their skilled horsemanship. Those living on the east coast are mainly sea nomads, coming ashore only to bury their dead. The Murut live mostly in the South West region of Sabah and in remote parts of the interior residency between the town of Keningaru and the borders of Sarawak and Indonesia. They were great hunters who uses spears, blowpipes and poisoned darts.

 

For travelers who prefer to laze under the sun, Sabah offers glorious tropical beaches with activities such as swimming, snorkeling, or just simply relaxing on the beach. These beaches are located on five different islands near Kota Kinabalu and are something not to be missed by visitors such as Pulau Layang-layang, Turtle Island, Pulau Sipadan, Tanjung Aru, Tunku Abdul Rahman Island, Labuan and many more.

When it comes to natural beauty, Sarawak has it all. Perched on the northwestern edge of the exotic island of Borneo, Sarawak is the largest of Malaysia’s states and is literally quite unlike any other place on earth. An amazing variety of wonders await visitors who come to Sarawak. Home to over 30 different ethnic groups, long sandy beaches, and an incredibly large natural world with a rich history makes Sarawak one of the most popular tourism spots in Malaysia.
Sarawak is popularly known as ‘The Land of the Hornbills’ in tribute to the majestic-looking hornbills found in the state. Considered as a messenger from the spirit world by the Iban community, an indigenous group, hornbills are central to many Iban ceremonies, beliefs and even traditional dances.

Sarawak is also home to more than 30 ethnic groups living together in perfect harmony. For an insight on the lives and culture of some of these major ethnic groups in Sarawak, a visit to the Sarawak Cultural Village is a must. The village contains replicas of ethnic houses for the viewing pleasure of visitors. Major ethnic groups are the Ibans, Chinese, Malay, Bidayuh, Melanau and The Orang Ulus.

Nestled on the banks of the Sarawak River, the capital, Kuching, retains the old-world charm of its romantic past.
The river is the focal point of the town and features a graceful, European-style esplanade -The Kuching Waterfront - with views across to the Astana (the palace) and Fort Margherita. For another perspective on the town, hire a boat and float down the river either by day or night-the sunset is fantastic.

The narrow, bustling streets near the river are crammed with ornate temples, markets, historic buildings and traditonal Chinese shophouses selling local handicrafts. Kuching also lays claim to nine museums, many within walking distance of each other.
Approximately 35 km from the capital of Kuching lies the picturesque fishing village of Santubong boasting some of the finest beaches in Sarawak.

The opportunities for an adventure in Sarawak are as numerous as they are diverse. Visitors will be able to easily find tour operators that offer trips where one can enjoy jungle trekking, mountain climbing, caving, and mountain biking or river safaris. Jungle trekking offers visitors a close up view of the amazing flora and fauna of Borneo. Scattered national parks throughout the land allow visitors easy access to Sarawak’s natural treasures where the proboscis monkeys, the famous bearded pigs, silver leaf monkeys and long tailed macaques can be seen. These huge parks are also home to an enormous range of fauna including the carnivorous pitcher plants, sundews, wild orchids and the Rafflesia, the largest flower in the world. In addition, the Niah and Gunung Mulu national park situated close to Brunei houses the Niah Caves containing prehistoric remains dating back 40,000 years. There are also quite a lot of National Parks scattered in Sarawak such as : Bako, Similajau, Kubah, Lambir Hills, Gunung Gading, Batang Ai, Tanjung Datu and Loagan Bunut National Park.
