Borneo is third largest island in the world and is
divided between Malaysia, Brunei, and Indonesia. You can
explore sections of pristine rainforest like Ulu
Temburong National Park in eastern Brunei; the Malaysian
states of Sarawak and Sabah. For most travellers, their
first taste of Sarawak is Kuching, the old colonial
capital, and then the Iban longhouses of the Batang Ai
and Batang Lupar river systems, or the Bidayuh
communities closer to the Kalimantan border. The best
time to visit is in late May-early June when the Iban
and the Bidayuh celebrate their harvest festivals with
ribald parties to which everyone is invited. Sibu, much
further to the north, is another starting point for more
visits to other Iban longhouses and the idyllic Pelagus
Rapids region. In the north of the state, Gunung Mulu
National Park is the principal destination, its
extraordinary razor-sharp limestone needles providing
demanding climbing and its
deep, cathedral-shaped caves awe-inspiring.
Another great highlight of a visit to Borneo is the
observation of wildlife: Elephants and rhinoceroses live
in the northern portion of the island, as do the
orangutan, gibbon, proboscis monkey, and wild ox. Among
the smaller quadrupeds are several species of macaque
monkey, tiger cat, tapir, honey bear, porcupine, flying
squirrel, flying fox, and various species of deer.
Reptiles include the crocodile, many varieties of
lizard, and the python and numerous other species of
snakes. Eagles, falcons, vultures, parrots, peacocks,
flamingos, and hornbills are among the birds found here.
