Kuching is the laid back coastal capital of Sarawak, located on the Sarawak River, with an attractive waterfront promenade. Kuching is a charming city to spend a day or two in preparation for your next adventure, being within striking distance of Sarawak’s natural attractions, including the Bako National Park and the Batang Ai National Park.
There are a number of interesting colonial relics in the city including the former residence of the White Rajah Charles Brooke, Fort Margherita, built in 1879 to protect the city from pirates, and the Sarawak museum.
