Lundu & Sematan
Lundu is a sleepy small town located approximately 80 km west of Kuching and at the foothill of the dome-shaped mountain Gunung Gading. Thanks to its lush rainforest with unique botanical treasures such as the famous Rafflesia flower or the Voodoo Lilly, Gunung Gading has been declared as national park. There are also several nice waterfalls – within Gunung Gading National Park as well as in the wider Lundu & Sematan region. A hike to one of the many waterfalls promises stunning sceneries and breath-taking views. And a dip in the cool waterfalls is a refreshing reward after a trek through the jungle.
The coastal area of Lundu and Sematan also features some of the best beaches in Sarawak. Some of these beaches do not just attract human visitors! The beaches of Tanjung Datu National Park and the islands of Talang-Satang National Park are nesting sites for sea turtles. Witnessing a mother turtle laying eggs or watching baby turtles hatch is a truly moving experience!
