Sarawak has more than 24 national parks and reserves open to the public, all protecting habitats including beaches and coastal mangroves, hilly inland regions and mountains along the Indonesian border. Here are five adventurous ways to get a taste of the region’s extraordinary flora, fauna and geology.1. Hike Bako National Park, on a finger of land poking into the sea north of Kuching, has an excellent network of hiking trails criss-crossing its nearly 11sq miles.
Beyond the lush rainforest and the trails, Bako National Park’s coastline is also truly inviting, with quiet bays and secluded beaches, craggy clifftops and some spectacular rock formations — including a famous natural sea stack that looks like a rearing cobra. The accommodation blocks were dismantled and irrigation systems installed to help rehabilitate degraded forest areas. A ‘tree adoption’ programme was launched to encourage funding from individuals and businesses. Five zoned gardens are planted here — including a mixed species garden and a fruit tree garden — and you can now walk trails through them and the wider rainforest.
