SARAWAK
Sarawak is the largest
state in Malaysia, an outback of sheer beauty rich in resources such as
pepper, cocoa, palm oil, timber and oil. With an area of 124,450 sq. km,
it is a region of endless fascination, possessing the largest cave
chamber in the world, verdant jungles, unique fauna and flora, white
beaches, and remote islands. Its population of 1.5 million people is as
rich and varied as the land.
Sarawak is known to
international visitors primarily because of the extraordinary natural
wonders of its national parks including Gunung Mulu, the Niah Caves, and
Bako. Sarawak's cultural treasures are also fascinating, reflecting the
influence not only of the state's many ethnic peoples, but also the odd
western influence of Sarawak's "White Rajahs".
The capital of Sarawak is
Kuching. Malaysia Airlines flies regularly to Kuching International
Airport from Kuala Lumpur, Johor Bahru, Singapore, and Kota Kinabalu.
Boats are a common mode of transport in Sarawak, as its the dense
vegetation of its interior is crisscrossed with rivers. Travel in areas
not reachable by boat is often by light aircrafts and helicopters. Major
towns are serviced by buses.
