Bako National Park
There are a number of national parks around Kuching and one of the best is Bako National Park. I have been to Bako two times and the last time was together with my friend Beate, who was visiting me earlier this month.
In Bako you can see proboscis monkeys which look very funny with their huge noses. :-) The males have the largest noses. You can also find silver leaf monkeys, naughty macaques that are stealing food from tourists, wild boars and snakes in Bako. The tree lemur is also seen sometimes, but it is more active during night time, so I have not seen it yet.
Some parts of the national park is covered by mangrove forest where a lot of crabs and mudskippers are found during low tide. If you walk up to the higher altitudes you can find a lot of pitcher plants.
Bako is a really nice place to go to for a day tour and you can see a lot of exotic wildlife concentrated in a quite small area.
