DAY 2 Destination Home Kuching Meals included Hotel 4 Grand Margherita Hotel, or similar Selamat Datang! Welcome to Kuching, Borneo. Sarawak’s eclectic capital city boasts plenty of old-world charm, with colonial-style architecture that hints at its past as the Land of the White Rajahs. Think historic landmarks, narrow streets lined with antique and craft shops, museums, a bustling waterfront and sampans plying the Sarawak that flows through it. Upon arrival, you’ll be met and transferred to your hotel. Please note: Some flights may depart the day before. Please note: Due to luggage restrictions on the internal flights, checked baggage is limited to 15kgs per person Check in: Passengers will be arriving at various times throughout the day from as early as 6am through to late evening. If arriving prior to standard check-in time, which is generally 3pm local time, you are welcome to leave your luggage with hotel reception and explore your surroundings until check-in becomes available, as there are generally no scheduled activities on Day 1 of the itinerary. The hotel may grant early check-in, however this is strictly subject to availability and at the hotel’s discretion.

First we’ll visit the farmers market, where you’ll learn how to pick the freshest items and discover the various health benefits of jungle produce. Back at the kitchen, you’ll learn preparation techniques – like milking coconut, grinding, pouncing and fine cutting – and enjoy the fruits of your labour for lunch.

Call 0470693231 Email [email protected] www.inspiringvacations.com P1 TOUR ITINERARY DAY 4 Destination Kuching Meals included Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner Hotel 4 Grand Margherita Hotel, or similar The island of Borneo is home to a dazzling array of wildlife and rare tropical species, with the steamy rainforest and climate providing the perfect home for orangutans, leopards and much more. Borneo is one of only two places in the world where endangered orangutans can still be seen in the wild. This morning you’ll embark on a special wildlife experience as we try to spot rescued orangutans at the Semenggoh Wildlife Conservation Centre. It’s home to some 30 orangutans. These clever creatures have been rescued, rehabilitated and released into the surrounding 740-hectare forest reserve. They still swing by the centre for a feed, where you have a good chance of seeing them. Then we’ll head to Annah Rais Longhouse, a Bidayuh settlement. The Bidayuh make up about 8% of Sarawak’s population. With your guide, you’ll explore the longhouse and get a feel for this indigenous tribe’s slow-paced lifestyle in the traditional village. There are many interesting relics here, like the Canon of Peace and several human skulls that are about 100 years old. You’ll enjoy a local home-cooked lunch here before returning to Kuching. The afternoon is free for you before dinner at a nearby restaurant. DAY 5 Destination Kuching Mulu National Park Meals included Breakfast Hotel 4 Mulu Marriott Resort & Spa, or similar After breakfast, you’ll check out and be transferred to the airport for your flight to Mulu. The largest national park in Sarawak, Mulu National Park was one of Malaysia’s first UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Famous for its dramatic peaks and magnificent cave system, it’s a natural wonder of stunning landscapes and ecological biodiversity, ripe for exploration. Mulu boasts some of the largest caves in the world. Upon arrival, we’ll head for Mulu National Park headquarters. Stretch your legs on a 3km plank walk to Deer Cave and Lang Cave. The beautifully lit cave formations and the mass exodus of bats from Deer Cave (this usually occurs during fine weather) is an astounding sight. NIGHT WALK IN MULU Enjoy a 2 hour night walk. Mulu is a rich habitat for thousands of nocturnal species which prefer the darkness of night to protect them from predators. Although the forest is an orchestra of sounds at night, the visitor must move quietly to catch Mulu’s weird and wonderful creatures in the lights.

The sheer magnitude and natural beauty of these sights is awe-inspiring. On our way to the caves, we’ll visit a Penan settlement to see the lifestyle of this once-nomadic rainforest tribe. Enjoy a picnic lunch before returning to park headquarters. DAY 7 Destination Mulu Kota Kinabalu Meals included Breakfast Hotel 4 Horizon Hotel, or similar After breakfast, you’ll be taken to Mulu Airport for your flight to Kota Kinabalu. Bid farewell to your Sarawak tour guide and on arrival, you’ll meet your Sabah tour guide. You’ll be transferred to your hotel and the rest of the day is free for you in Sabah’s capital. KOTA KINABALU HERITAGE WALK After a short briefing, your Heritage Guide will proceed with the tour right at the Padang Merdeka and the walk will cover other historical sites and buildings such as the Atkinson Clock Tower, Australia Place, Community Centre, Sabah Tourism Building, Jesselton Hotel, Gaya Street, Pocket Park, Malaysia Monument, North Borneo War Memorial and the City Council (Hall). DAY 8 Destination Kota Kinabalu Sandakan Meals included Breakfast, Dinner Hotel 4 Four Points by Sheraton Sandakan, or similar Enjoy the morning to yourself – perhaps a swim, a massage and lunch? Your flight to Sandakan leaves at 1:35pm. Sandakan is the gateway to some of Sabah’s richest wildlife – elephants, orangutans, sun bears, proboscis monkeys and myriad species of birds. It’s also a culinary paradise, with amazing seafood and local delicacies unique to the blend of cultures who have settled here over the centuries. Enjoy a city tour on arrival. As Sabah’s pre-war capital, Sandakan is rich in historical landmarks and monuments, including the Puu Jih Shih Buddhist Temple, St Michael’s and All Angels Church, and Agnes Keith House museum. Have a cup of tea at the English Tea House before dinner at a local restaurant.

Call 0470693231 Email [email protected] www.inspiringvacations.com P3 TOUR ITINERARY DAY 9 Destination Sandakan Meals included Breakfast, Lunch Hotel 4 Four Points by Sheraton Sandakan, or similar Sandakan is renowned as the gateway to some of Borneo’s rarest and most endangered wildlife. After breakfast, we’ll drive to the Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre for 10am feeding time. Founded in 1964 to rehabilitate orphaned orangutans, this is arguably the most popular place in Borneo to view the “man of the forest”. Then, it’s onto the Bornean Sun Bear Conservation Centre, to learn more about the plight of the Malayan sun bear. After lunch, we’ll head to Sandakan Memorial Park for some insight into the city’s past. This emotive memorial site is built on the grounds of the original Sandakan Prisoner of War (POW) Camp. This site also marks the starting point of the tragic Sandakan Death Marches, where more than 2000 Allied prisoners of war died on forced marches through the jungles of Borneo, in the final months of World War II. You’ll return to the hotel and the rest of the day is at leisure. RAINFOREST DISCOVERY CENTRE Situated 23 kilometres from Sandakan Town and not too far from the Sepilok Rehabilitation Centre, the RDC’s main highlights are its exhibition halls, the Plant Discovery Garden, the Kapili-Sepilok Forest Reserve, environmental education programmes and a small lake for boat rides. The RDC also gives visitors a chance to get intimate with nature through its Nature Experience programme which includes a guided walk to the Plant Discovery Garden, Rainforest Walk and indoor/outdoor activities.

  • MISC. HERITAGE NEWS –February to July2018
    MISC. HERITAGE NEWS –February to July2018 What we spotted of interest on the Sarawak and regional cultural heritage scene in the last six months The "Forgotten Beauty" exhibition by Tan Wei Kheng at the Rainforest Fringe, July 2018 NATION WIDE Heritage management did not feature during the political campaigns during the 14th General Elections of 9 May 2018. After the elections, calls were made to reinstate a ministry of culture, arts and heritage to be separate from the ministry of tourism, but the new Government returned the current structure of Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture, with under it, the Department of National Heritage. The Minister is YB Tuan Mahamaddin Bin Ketapi, a newly elected Parti Warisan Sabah (Sabah Heritage Party) MP. The impact of the change of Government on the heritage conservation scene is still to be felt.
