Kuching is a rather interesting city. And Sarawak, whose capital is Kuching - really very big. This is the largest state in Malaysia, and, by the way, the most unclosed. In this regard, travelers who arrived in Malaysia, and are thinking about whether to fly to Kuching, at the same time asked: how many days to spend in Kuching or Sarawak? The answer depends on what purpose you are going to Sarawak and how much money you have with you.
Kuching is a rather lively and developed town, but many tourists come here, nevertheless, for the sake of other adventures, and not for the sake of the study of the city itself. Such a transshipment point. Many come to admire wild fresh tropical forests behind the territory of the Kuching. Fortunately, for those who want to visit the most popular parks, there are several national parks on the territory of the state, which are easily accessible and where excursions are organized.
In this case, it is better to stay on the island at least a week, no less. And better, two. During this tropical travel, you will visit Ganung Malu National Park , a few days will have to Bako National Park , and even because - day trips to Caves NII and Lambir Hills - All these exciting events cannot be accomplished for one or two days.
Ahead between walks on the tropical forest, you could also fit on a few days in Kuching yet (the city is beautiful!), And then - in Miri. Then it's better to go to the island for two weeks. In order to save time on moving, it is best to fly. Fortunately, airports on the island are a lot, and airplanes are sometimes cheaper than buses. Flying, and not waste precious hours on moving on buses, you will see much more, and maybe even put in a week with your "natural" tours!
Nevertheless, if you do not consider days, and are ready to devote yourself to beautiful Malaysia, I would say that four weeks are the perfect amount of time for Sarawak. You, of course, are terrible! Who at all is such a long vacation? It happens. And do not forget about the devotees travelers who are ready to live better in a shack or a tent, but to explore every corner of the new place.
If you are a silence of such lucky ones, then in four weeks you could spend more time, relaxing in Kuching, basking in his colonial charm, make a couple of campaigns to Malu, admire the amazing beauty by sunsets to Bako and visit some of the less famous national parks, such as Batang Ai, Simalajau and Logan Banut . Isn't that happiness?
Of course, you can stay longer than four weeks - then you will have more opportunities to delve into the atmosphere and the culture of Sarawak. But this can afford only the most free or richest people. Which we envy.
Traveling on Sarawaku and Kuching, in principle, it is not very difficult, good, there is a air connection. Although the ground transport system is so-so. With accommodation in Kuching, there should also be no special problems - there are also cheap gesthauses, and hotels are more comfortable and expensive.
About the fact that in the city you can see, read in another article - and there is something to see that, although, in general, attractions are not very much, compared with some other cities of Malaysia. But the atmosphere in the city is just wonderful! And near the Kuching there are many interesting nearby villages (driving to them for less than 90 minutes).
In general, if you are thinking, go or not in Kuching, then do not even doubt, go!
