For those in the know, this is a place of history, mystery, romance and exotic adventures. For those who don’t, well, it’s been said it’s Asia’s best kept secret. That’s Sarawak, the largest state in Malaysia and arguably its most exotic.

It’s the land of the fabled White Rajahs, the hornbill and the orang utan. Its rainforest, the size of Austria, houses the world’s richest and most diverse ecosystem. It is also home to the world’s largest flower, the Rafflesia (that can grow to the size of a coffee table), squirrels and snakes that fly, deer the size of cats, plants that eat insects (and very small animals) and species of flora and fauna still waiting to be discovered.
