Matang Mariamman – Sarawak’s Historic Hindu Temple

Discover one of Sarawak’s lesser-known heritage sites on a journey to the Matang Mariamman Temple, the oldest Hindu temple in Sarawak. Located in the foothills of the Matang mountain range, the temple was built by Indian labourers recruited during the era of the Brooke government to work at the Matang Coffee Estate. Enjoy a short walk through the surrounding forest before reaching the historic temple, where your guide will share the story of its origins and its place in Sarawak’s history. Take some time to appreciate the peaceful surroundings and enjoy light refreshments before returning to Kuching.
