Kubah National Park
Only 15km from downtown Kuching, Kubah National Park is a good natural retreat within easy striking distance of the city. Kubah offers good trekking and the trails are more shaded, which is a plus for the sun-averse. The 22-sq-km park consists of a range of forested sandstone hills that rise dramatically from the surrounding plain to a height of 450m. There are waterfalls, walking trails and lookouts, and the beautiful rainforest is home to a wide variety of palms and orchids. Kubah National Park has also played host to two Hollywood productions: Farewell to the King, starring Nick Nolte, and the more recent The Sleeping Dictionary, with Jessica Alba.

Gunung Serapi
At 911m, Gunung Serapi's summit is Kubah's highest peak. The paved entrance road runs right up to the summit; it's a two- to three-hour walk. The peak is often shrouded in mist but there are lookouts along the way. You can probably hitch a lift up then walk down. Most of the other trails run off the entrance road.
