Wilds of Sarawak by Bicycle

What's this trip about?

The Malaysian jungle conjures up images of intrepid explorers, dense tropical rainforest, a dazzling array of exotic wildlife, and indigenous communities expertly adapted to life in harmony with this captivating, biodiverse ecosystem. And, of course, there are our distant cousins - the orangutans - who roam these lands! On this week-long cycling adventure of the jungle-clad state of Sarawak we'll experience the best of the island's wild and rural sides. The trip starts in the state capital of Kuching. Here we'll also warm up our legs with a leisurely ride around the town, where old world charm meets new world buzz. The following day we'll head to Semenggoh Nature Reserve for our first taste of the jungle and to spend some time with rehabilitated orangutans at feeding time. From here on out it's full throttle cycling along quiet back county roads that crisscross lush plantations, rainforests, rice fields, charming villages, and impressive geological formations. Off-saddle highlights include kayaking along the Sarawak River, a longhouse tour in Annah Rais, exploring the "Fairy Caves", discovering the Chinese heritage town of Siniawan, and enjoying an adventurous night-safari in Kubah National Park. The final two days of riding are along coastal routes where jungle-meets-ocean and we spend time on some gorgeous beaches. The tour ends back in Kuching.
