Kuching Airport is the fourth busiest airport in Malaysia, and IATA has given the airport the platinum rank for the services and facilities it offers to the passengers. The airport is only thirteen kilometres away from Kuching Waterfront, at the centre of the city. The ride from the airport to downtown Kuching is covered in 30 minutes at the maximum.

April to September is the driest time in Kuching. We must understand that Kuching is on the third largest island in the world called Borneo, which is known for its rainforests. As the term suggests, rainforests grow where there is much rain. However, the months mentioned above have the least share of drizzles. There are some rainy days, during the summer, allowing the air to get cleansed and the sky to brighten as you explore the jungles and caves around Kuching. Moreover, many cultural festivals also are held during the dry season. Located in the tropics, the temperature in Kuching hovers between 27°C to 32°C throughout the year.

Torrential rains in Kuching begin late in December and continue till March. Coming to Kuching during this time is uncomfortable since you would always be clasping an umbrella waiting for the sky to clear out. However, if you happen to come to Kuching in November, you can still see a lot of Kuching city and its lush green natural heritage and save a few pounds on your expedition. Showers begin in late October, shooing away most of the tourists and leaving both hotels and aeroplanes empty. Eager for more business, the airlines and hotel owners keep the prices low. Most of the sites and parks around the city remain open during November as well.

Kuching was once part of the Bruneian Empire. As a reward for helping in defeating a rebellion, the king awarded Kuching and the surrounding area to a British trader named James Brooke. The king also bestowed on him the title of “Rajah” or Duke. The White Rajahs, as they were called, were immensely loyal to Kuching and developed the city, bringing many European traditions to the tropical Paradise.

  • Bako National Park is the oldest national park in Sarawak which is located at the tip of the Muara Tebas Peninsula, north of the Kuching city. The park is open every day and is only 30 kilometres from the city centre. The park though is small, but it contains all the plants and animals indigenous to Borneo. The mangrove forests of the park are untouched and are a nursery for the fish spawning in the meandering roots of the woods. The park is also the best place to see the endangered proboscis monkeys. The national park is also home to other endangered animals and rare birds like the White-chested Babbler.
  • The Sarawak State Museum is where Kuching keeps its historical treasures. The museum was first put together by Alfred Russell Wallace and his friend the Second White Rajah, Charles Brooke. The museum was closed for refurbishments in 2017 but has opened its doors to an awestruck audience that stare with wonder at the museum’s collection. This palace of history contains the relics of the tribes that lived in the Sarawak region many years ago. The museum is open from nine till five in the afternoon every single day, and the entry fee is free.
  • The Kuching Cat Museum is one of the many peculiarities in the city. The foundations of Kuching were laid by the first White Rajah of Sarawak. As the story goes, when the Rajah first came to visit the land, he saw a beautiful cat. In the Malay language, a cat is known as a 'Kuching'. The Rajah searched for the cat to keep as a pet, but the creature was never found. Since then the people of Kuching have a fondness for cats and the museum is another shrine to their feline friends. The museum has over six thousand artefacts depicting cats. The museum is free to the public, but there are charges for photography.
