Kubah
National Park, just 20 kilometres from the State capital,
the park is a favourite destination for local day-trippers.
The sandstone plateau includes three mountains, Gunung Serapi,
Gunung Selang and Gunung Sendok, which can be seen clearly
from Kuching. Within the park's 2230 hectares you can find
rare ferns and orchids. These were one of the reasons Kubah
was gazetted as a national park in 1989. |

Popular
with local people are the waterfalls and clear jungle streams
where you can cool off after trekking through the jungle on well-marked
paths. The dipterocarp forest, interspersed with patches of scrub
and unusually rich area of kerangas, is home to bearded pigs,
black hornbills, squirrels, mouse deer and many species of reptiles
and amphibians. |
