Kubah National Park

For those who are planning to spend some time in the city of Kuching, Kubah National Park is an unforgettable day trip destination. With 22 square kilometers of forest and sandstone hills, this is a great place to get back to nature.

Take one of the walking trails through the forest and you will discover sparkling waterfalls, spectacular rainforest and pretty orchids. The beauty of Kubah National park is that the trails are easy to follow, meaning that you don’t need to hire a guide to lead you around. Simply take your time and explore as and when you want, pausing to take it the dramatic landscape that greets you at every turn.

The most popular hiking trail takes about three hours and ends at the very summit of Gunung Serapi, which is the area’s highest peak. Stop to appreciate the spectacular views and perhaps also take the Waterfall Trail for the chance to swim in the cool, clear waters of a large naturally formed pool.

Follow the Ulu Rayu Trail to the Matang Wildlife Center. This area of the park features a number of pretty rock pools and waterfalls as well as animals such as crocodiles and hornbills. This is the perfect spot for a picnic, and visitors can also make use of the barbecue pits located at Matang Wildlife Center.
