It has been described as Asia's best
kept secret. Now the secret is out. Sarawak is a place for history, mystery
,romance and exotic adventures. The land of the fabled white Rajahs, the
hornbills and the orang utans.
Its rainforest houses the world's
richest and most diverse ecosystem. The ancient virgin forest is also home to 27 ethnic
groups with their own distinct language, culture and lifestyle. Their ancient
cultures may differ but they have one thing in common, their warmth and hospitality.
Arrive in Sarawak and you step into
adventure. You can stroll for a morning in the national park near your
hotel, or you can trek through pristine jungle, or spend days exploring
the world's most extensive cave system.
If history thrills you, visit caves
that were inhabited 40,000 years ago, learn how Indian and Chinese merchants
traded for Sarawak's exotic products centuries before the first Europeans
came here. Hear stories of princes and pirates, of headhunters and explorers.
But if that is more excitement than you need, relax on our beaches on the
South Chine Sea, scuba dive off reefs where you will be alone with the sea,
or just enjoy a round of golf on one of our excellent courses. Sarawak has
something for everyone and a welcome for all.
After all, "Selamat Datang", "Selamat Datai", are some of the different ways
to say welcome in the many languages of Sarawak.
