Like
Sabah, Sarawak is known to international visitors primarily because of the
extraordinary natural wonders of its national parks, including Gunung Mulu,
the Niah Caves, and Bako. Sarawak's cultural treasures are also fascinating,
reflecting the influence not only of the state's many ethnic peoples, but
also the odd western influence of Sarawak's "White Rajahs."
The capital of Sarawak is Kuching. Malaysia Airlines flies regularly to
Kuching International Airport as well as to Miri from Kuala Lumpur, Johor
Bahru, Singapore, and Kota Kinabalu. Boats are a common mode of transport in
Sarawak, as its the dense vegetation of its interior is crisscrossed with
rivers. Travel in areas not reachable by boat is often by light aircrafts
and helicopters. Major towns are serviced by buses.
Sarawak's endless rivers form the vast state's transportation backbone.
The most common crafts used along the rivers are called perahus; they are
low-lying pencil thin canoes equipped with outboard motors, and they curl
along with surprising speed and agility. The experience of riding in one,
while the impossibly dense jungle wall breezes past, is unforgettable.
