The cultural rich country of Malaysia is a magical fusion of the skyscrapers of Kuala Lumpur and the jungle hunters of Borneo. Adorned with mountainous peaks, hilly clusters and rainforest-covered river valleys, Malaysia Borneo is just the right dose of the picturesque. The Sarawak and Sabah provinces are possibly the island’s hidden gems. Let’s discuss in brief on the culture, history and wildlife of these island twins of Borneo. The state of Sarawak rests peacefully on the island of Borneo offers an eclectic mix of culture and nature-based travel experience. Teemed with mighty rivers, rainforest and unique wildlife, the Sarawak is a hot destination that magnet thousands of globe trotters. From its massive cave systems to the historic charms, Sarawak is a slice of paradise that will never disappoint you. The island certainly has its share of the massive cave system at the Mulu National Park. This largest national park covering about 529 km of Sarawak is a treasure chest that includes the iconic Sarawak Chamber, the majestic mountains-Gunung Mulu, Gunung Api and Gunung Benarat. Marvel at the beautiful geographic features and the wonderful plant and animal life of the Mulu National Park! Now, move on to the capital city of Kuching, which offers a leisurely charm. The city’s historic charm combined with its cultural attractions is quite amazing. The lively eating and drinking options is sure to please all palates. Simply take part in jungle trekking and wildlife watching at the Bako National Park. Relax some time with the Iban community and experience their unique lifestyle. On the whole Sarawak, ‘the Land of Hornbills’ is really a crown in the Borneo Island. Sabah, the twin island of Sarawak is a true hidden gem of Borneo. Sabah is renowned for the beauty of its natural environment and its network of national parks and wildlife sanctuaries. Sabah offers tremendous opportunity for nature based activities such as trekking, wildlife watching and diving. Blessed with the mighty Mount Kinablu combined with picturesque islands and beaches, Sabah offers a relaxing holiday. Relatively accessible wildlife offers abundant opportunities of wonderful wildlife watching. Enchanting and fascinating Mount Kinabalu is sure to soothe your soul! Take some time for a fine trekking and climbing. If you are too tired, relax and have some fun at the Kinabalu Park, the main entrance to Kinabalu climbing. Head out to the ancient rainforest in the Danum Valley. Enjoy some of the most fantastic flora and fauna set against the rainforest alongside the Lipad River. A night drive through the valley in search of nocturnal animals is equally stunning. Adventure junkies can trek through Maliau Basin, a large area completely surrounded by steep and forbidding slopes. Maliau Basin has been dubbed as ‘Sabah’s Lost World’ due to its unique and mysterious biodiversity.
