1 2 Introduction To Sarawak, “Where Adventure Lives”
Located on the north-western shore of the Island of Borneo is Sarawak, the largest state of Malaysia. A beautiful land coloured in peace and tradition, Sarawak is a prime destination for travel nomads seeking untouched culture, exhilarating adventure and breath-taking nature.
Whether it is sharing in the lifestyle of one of the many indigenous communities’ longhouses, exploring gigantic caves in the heart of the Bornean rainforest, or shooting the rapids on a swollen river, visitors will leave Sarawak having enjoyed a host of memorable experiences.
As a part of Malaysia, Sarawak is a peaceful and stable place for travel, suited for large groups or single travellers alike.
With thick jungles a few steps from luxurious resorts and modern amenities, it is the perfect location for a wide range of experiences. As these two worlds collide, the people of Sarawak meet in the middle, with a mixture of modern savvy and proudly-kept traditions, wild nature lining organised infrastructure and old- fashioned hospitality mixed with connectivity.
Revealing a side of Asia unlike anywhere else, Sarawak offers an alternative for those seeking humble authenticity far from the tourist-trap clichés, whether their visit to Sarawak is a complement to a trip to Peninsular Malaysia and neighbouring countries, or a journey of discovery all on its own.

Instead, the British adventurer found himself caught in the middle of a dispute between the Sultan of Brunei and the local chieftains under his reign, a dispute that Brooke helped solve in the Sultan’s favour. This led to his Brooke becoming the Rajah of Sarawak in 1841, as a reward from the Sultan.
The Brooke family ruled for three generations as the ‘White Rajahs of Sarawak’ until after the Second World War, when Sarawak ceded to the British Crown.
