This promotional package allows you to explore the interior of Sarawak, the former kingdom of the White Rajah. The package includes 4 nights accommodation with daily breakfast, airport transfers and classic tours at the following destinations: Kuching, Lemanak Longhouse and Batang Ai. Extension stays are bookable at special discounted rates.

The tour of Kuching will take you around what was known as the Kingdom of Sarawak during the first White Rajah's reign. It includes both modern and historical landmarks, including Chinatown, the city's Cat Statue (the Malay word for cat is Kuching), and the famous Sarawak Museum. Trace the legacy of the White Rajahs as you view buildings like Fort Margherita and the Astana, their former residence by the river. Also in the tour are the important buildings during the White Rajahs' era – the Pavilion, the Square Tower, the Court House, the Charles Brooke Monument and the Post Office.

The journey to Lemanak Longhouse is an experience itself, a trip through lush green countryside dotted with padi fields, pepper gardens and rubber plantations, and flanked by rugged jungle-clad mountains. Highlights along the way include a stop at a local farmer's market, a visit to a pepper garden and viewing carnivorous pitcher plants. Then a river ride awaits to take you up into Iban territory to Lemanak Longhouse, the traditional home of the Iban tribe. Learn more of their customs during this tour, which will see you staying overnight with them. The next day you will travel Iban style through the jungle as you learn their way of life.

The last tour is a boat ride through Batang Ai Hydro Lake, the largest man made lake in the country. The lake itself is a beauty of nature, one that you will be able to admire at leisure from the luxurious Hilton Batang Ai Longhouse Resort.
