From jungle trekking, scuba diving, and golf, to visiting the hidden longhouses of Borneo's famous 'head-hunter' Iban tribes, or getting close to wild orang-utans, there is something in Sarawak to appeal to everyone.

While the names Borneo and Sarawak conjure images of far off exotic lands, Sarawak is surprisingly accessible. Just a one-hour flight from Singapore, or 1 hour 45 minutes from Kuala Lumpur, there are flights almost every hour linking Kuching to its better-known neighbours.

You can also enter Sarawak from flights via its two Eastern neighbours Brunei and Kota Kinabalu (the capital of Sabah, the other East Malaysian State in Borneo).

Kuching, the state capital of Sarawak, was formerly known as the land of the White Rajah, Sir James Brooke or the land of the headhunters. A beautifully landscaped city, Kuching is the melting pot of Sarawak's diverse ethnic groups, with the blend of old history charms and modern day amenities. Graced by the old colonial buildings, magnificent temples and mosques, Kuching serves as a perfectly relaxed holiday.
