Kinabatangan River
A wildlife river adventure in Sabah, this diverse ecosystem shelters 10 species of primates, 200 species of birds, endangered pygmy elephants and the Malay sun bear. Enjoy guided night tours through the jungle or row into the Gomantong Caves. An exploration through the Borneo jungle awaits!
Kuching
It has justly been described as the most attractive city in Southeast Asia. Or, as one visitor described it: "It's like living in a garden." Kuching, Sarawak's capital, is one of the most liveable, people-friendly cities in the region with modern amenities and old world charm. Multi-story buildings blend with structures from colonial days and the colorful Malay and Chinese shop houses. The Sarawak River has long been the center of Kuching life and the Waterfront, a beautifully landscaped esplanade, is the main gathering place for Kuching's population, especially as the sun sets beyond scenic Matang Mountains. Across the river is Astana, once the home of the White Rajah's, now the Governor's residence. Nearby is Fort Margherita and the colorful Malay kampung. Just across the road is Main Bazaar, which houses curio and antique shops, travel agents and coffee shops. Sarawak Museum has beautiful gardens and the park built round the old town reservoir. The air-conditioned shopping malls in the city center stock brand name goods, local handicrafts and food outlets.
Gunung Mulu National Park
Abundant biodiversity, a world heritage site and the most studied tropical karst in the world sits on the island of Borneo in Sarawak. Mount Mulu is a sandstone mountain and in it lies enormous cave chambers home to millions of cave swiftlets and bats. Adventure caving is accessed by foot or wading across the river beneath the mountain by boat. The national park’s dense vegetation is beautifully draped across the tree trunks surrounded by the beady eyes of insects, lizards, butterflies and interesting creepy crawlies. Get off the forest floor and walk along the 480 meter Mulu Canopy Skywalk, the world’s longest tree-based canopy. Comfy with nature? Go camping and stay overnight in a jungle base where you can listen to the songs of the forest.

Kuala Lumpur
Malaysia's capital rises like a vision from the deep jungles. Its fascinating array of architectural styles includes Malay stilt villages, Islamic minarets, Hindu temples, Chinese shop houses and the indescribable opulence of the Royal Palace. In the background rise the world's tallest buildings, the Petronas Twin Towers completed in 1996.

Kota Kinabalu
This state capital is strung out along the coast, with jungle-clad hills as a backdrop, and is home to a population of about 180,000. From an obscure fishing town, Kota Kinabalu has grown to a fashionable, modern town with deep-water anchorage. The highest vantage point, Signal Hill, offers an excellent view. Other sights include Papar - a scenic drive south from Kota Kinabalu, through paddy fields and jungle, the old town section (bandar lama) of Papar with several rows of quaint wooden shophouses, painted blue and laid out along spacious boulevards lined with palms and a large market in the center of the town; and Pulau Tiga National Park - a dip forest reserve virtually untouched and containing species not found on other islands.
