Hi Kay, interesting to read about the abundant nature in Sarawak. Last summer I booked Malaysia and Borneo after another trip was cancelled. I was too late, but for next summer I can make new plans....

I'd like to see the world's largest flower and orangutans in their natural habitat. Interesting tip on Penan People!

This is an awesome page Kay. Again, nature at its best. I would have loved to see the Orangutans. Who would have thought that such a nice hotel, the Royal Mulu Resort, would be in a jungle. It's beautiful.
