Sarawak

Malaysia's largest state, in northwest Borneo, with a distinctive appeal of rainforest, giant caves and indigenous longhouse culture.

Sarawak lies in northwest Borneo and is the largest state in Malaysia. The capital, Kuching, has a pleasant riverfront, and nearby Bako National Park and Semenggoh Wildlife Centre offer chances to see proboscis monkeys and orangutans. In the north, Gunung Mulu National Park is a World Heritage Site known for its enormous caves, razor-sharp limestone pinnacles and bat exodus, while Miri is the gateway to Mulu and the Niah Caves. The longhouse culture of the Iban and other indigenous peoples, and the Rainforest World Music Festival held each summer, also draw visitors. The climate is hot and humid year-round, with a relatively drier period from about June to August. Both Kuching and Miri have airports.
