Our comments
The alluring lifestyle of the Sarawak`s native tribe is the biggest attraction. You can join a tour to a longhouse to witness their habitat & traditions. The journey to the longhouse on a longboat is an unforgettable experience. Spend some time of the waterfront in Kuching – it a reminiscent of an ancient waterway in the colonial days. Kuching has it’s share of wildlife attraction at Semenggok Wildlife Centre – the main feature is the Orang Utan. For a quick beach break, head to Damai Beach. Nearby is the Sarawak Cultural Centre. Sarawak is mystical. Lets enjoy vacation in sarawak, malaysia. See Borneo Sarawak Tour Packages
