Santubong Area,Sarawak

You can climb this 810m high peak if you have the energy. Expect to take about 5 - 6 hours to go up and down. It is harder than it looks - it is steep and involves scrambling over countless tree roots and a number of rope ladders but climbers are compensated by excellent views, weather permitting.

Sarawak Cultural Village at Damai, at the foot of Gunung Santubong, is a living museum where you can encounter all the ethnic groups of Sarawak in one place and experience their culture, dress, traditions, dance and homes. I thought the longhouses and other houses were very interesting. The cultural show is a bit touristy and you can expect to be invited on stage to join the dance or try a blowpipe. They have similar shows in Sabah and elsewhere but well worth experiencing at least once. This year's Rainforest World Music Festival was held here.
