Bako National Park
The Bako National Park is Sarawak’s oldest national park. Covering 2,742 hectares of a rugged sandstone peninsula to the east of the Bako River near Kuching, the capital, it is the home of the proboscis monkey, silver-leaf monkeys and long-tailed macaques. Wave erosion at the base of the cliffs has carved many of the rocks into unusual sea arches and seastacks. The Bako National Park is SaraÂwak’s oldest national park at the tip of the Muara Tebas peninsula. It offers visitors an excellent introduction to the rainforest of Borneo. It is one of the smallest parks in Sarawak Malaysia, yet one of the most interesting, as it contains almost every type of vegetation found in Borneo.
