Bako National Park
For
eco-minded adventurers, Bako National Park, some 37 km east
of Kuching, is a fascinating bio-sphere to explore. Comprised of
sandstone cliffs, sweeping beaches and idyllic bays, this 26 square
kilometre park offers an abundance of flora and fauna. At least
seven major types of vegetation common to Sarawak are to be found.
The most significant animal in the park the long nosed proboscis
monkey, unique only to Borneo.
The park has 16 maintained and well-marked jungle trails. For beach
lovers, its sandy coastline invites beachcombing at low tide, swimming
and sunset watching.
