Description:
This
massive sandstone ridge with its three mountain peaks – the 911m high
Gunung Serapi and the slightly smaller Gunung Selang and Gunung Sendok –
is clearly visible from the Kuching Waterfront. Situated only 22
kilometres from Kuching, Kubah is not only the most visible but also one
of the most accessible of Sarawak’s National Parks.
Kubah
was established in 1989 because of its exceptionally rich plant life,
and only opened to the public in 1995. The Park covers an area of 2,230
hectares, and comprises the heavily forested slopes and ridges of the
Serapi range. At heights of between 150-450 metres, Kubah’s soft
sandstone is punctuated with bands of hardened limestone which have
created a number of beautiful waterfalls.
