Sarawak province in Malaysia takes pride in having wildlife parks which do not only bring more local and foreign tourists to their country, but also helps in preserving what little is left of todays forests and wildlife.
From lush vegetation which serves as sanctuary for endangered species, to magnificent landscapes and natural architecture, to diverse and colourful land and sea creatures, to areas for recreation and relaxation, Sarawak national parks has something for every tourist or nature lover.
Gunung Mulu National Park: This is probably the most popular among all the parks in Sarawak. It has the most amazing collection of limestone cave systems, which is its main attraction, and one such system is the Sarawak Chamber, which also happens to be the largest natural chamber in the world.
Sarawak takes pride in having several of these magnificent cave systems in other national parks, as well. Niah Natonal Park houses the Painted Cave which served as shelter for some 30,000 to 40,000 humans during the early prehistoric era. This cave is located within another cave amply named as the Niah Cave. Both caves, being rich in archeological information, have earned the status of National Historical Monuments by the Malaysian Government.
Colourful and lush forests house several rare and endangered species and are a treat for environmentalists and animal lovers alike. The Bako National Park and the Talang Satang National Park are both known for its abundant wildlife and prolific forests which are a pleasure for environmental and animal photographers or even for simple observers.
Whether you are a photographer or a plain tourist and observer, capture these moments that can only be seen in this park which is only 45 minutes from the provincial capital, Kuching. So if you need to have a quick getaway from your busy life in the city, this is the place to set forth to.
Along with the Painted Cave, it has been awarded the title of National Historical Monument by the government of Malaysia.
For those with a more active lifestyle and who enjoy recreational sports such as trekking, hiking, rafting or trailing, or for those who would just want to chill from their fast-paced, busy urban lives, the Lambir Hills and Similajau National Parks are very well suited these types of people or tourists.
Both are accessible from the provincial capital which makes these spots popular. Scenic views from waterfalls, to rapids, to clear beaches and adventurous trails await tourists who are into either an active outdoor lifestyle or who just wish to lay back and enjoy a relaxing vacation.
Take a break now from work or school, or from your busy lifestyle in the city, and come over to Sarawak, Malaysia to experience all these gifts from nature, all these only in Malaysia.
