 There
is no better place than Sarawak to discover the wonders of a tropical
rainforest. Sarawak's rainforests, which covers over two-third of the
state's total land area, are virtually nature's paradise. These rainforests
are ecological wonders; each site has its individual eco-system supporting
its own range of wildlife. It is home to almost 2,000 astonishing species
of some of the world's most exotic plants and animals. Watch the antics
of the leaf eating proboscis monkey, marvel at the bloom of the Rafflesia,
and take a look at the carnivorous hornbill. These are some of the flora
and fauna specimens that the ever watchful can discover on a jungle walk.
A few of the national parks are: Mulu National Park, Niah National Park,
Bako National Park, and Similajau National Park.
Mulu National Park
Situated in the far northeast of Sarawak, it is the gate way to fantastic
and gigantic caves.
Niah National Park
300 miles up the coast from Kuching, hidden in the forest of Miri is Niah
National Park.
Bako National Park
Sarawak's oldest national park was established in 1957 on a 2,728 hectare
site.
