Best self-guided hike


WHEN it comes to self-guided treks, we have to hand it to the Sarawak Forestry folks. They manage 20 national parks, including such natural gems as Bako National Park near Kuching.

If Mother Nature were a master artisan, then Bako would be her masterpiece. Just one-tenth the size of Kuala Lumpur, Bako boasts seven distinct ecosystems. One second you’re crossing grasslands on a sandstone plateau, and the next, you’re meandering in and out of heath forests with pitcher plants and sago palms.
