Small, but diverse, National Park located
37km north-east of Kuching. Bako NP covers an area of about 27sqkm and
offers jungle treks, steep cliffs, rocky headlands and stretches of
sandy, secluded bays.
It is one of the smallest national parks in Sarawak, yet one of the
most interesting, as it contains almost every type of vegetation found
in Borneo. The Park is relatively easy to explore with a well-maintained
network of nature trails - from easy forest strolls to full-day jungle
treks.It is also the place see wild life such as the proboscis monkey (the one with funny nose) and the Bornean bearded pig, Bako???s largest mammal, which can come really near to the accommodations at the Headquarter.
Getting There
From Kuching, take a taxi or Petra Jaya Bus No. 6 to Kampung Bako (Bako Village). From there it’s a 30min interesting boat ride to the headquarter.
