*Welcome* to the land of the hornbills! *Sarawak* is located on the island
of Borneo, the third largest island in the world, north of the Equator.
With its beautiful blue skies and tropical breezes you can bathe in the
sandy beaches and palm-fringed state of Sarawak. With a pleasant tropical
rainforest climate, *Kuching* the capital of the state of Sarawak, is
Borneo's most stylish and sophisticated city.  Its many museums and
impressive planetarium will enthral even the tiniest travellers. Visitors
can also grab a snack from the many stalls on the bustling waterfront, or
visit the absolutely massive Kubah Ria market, which is an electric
experience for shoppers, vendors, and observers. Within Kuching itself, the
bustling streets – some very modern, others with a colonial vibe – amply
reward visitors with a penchant for aimless ambling.  Click here for video

*Download Apps* on your gadgets and start navigating and exploring what,
where, when and how you can get around the country and enjoy the endless
wonders, from food, festival, events to shopping and many more. [
