Kuching: Kubah National Park

Kubah National Park is one of the most easily accessible park in Kuching, just under an hour drive away on the way to the Matang hills. There is no scheduled bus service to the park, and the nearest bus stops at a road junction which require an hour or so on foot to each the entrance, so the only option is by cab or hired car, but the location is not hard to find.
There is a proper car  park and an entrance kiosk where you pay RM10.00 (for Malaysians) / RM20.00 (for foreigners) per person to enter. A toilet and bathroom area is behind the kiosk if you need to wash and freshen up after the long trekking, before you leave the park.
There are several walking trails, and the Waterfall Trail is the most popular. It is a 1 1/2 hour trekking (one way) through the rainforest though the trail are well marked and many stretches are by plankwalk. The trail is easy to negotiate as there is not much gradient, where there are, steps are provided and on steep climb at the approach to the waterfalls, wooden stairs/steps are provided

The waterfall is about 20 feet high and falls into a big pool and cascade to a series of big boulders with smaller pools along the way. The water is cool and refreshing and is an excellent place for a swim and picnic. Part of the flat rock surface can be slippery during rainy season as they are moss covered, so be careful.

There are not many wildlife in the park, and for mosquito haters, good news, there is none! There are beetles, bugs centipedes and frogs and plentiful palm of all types. Sometimes leeches can also be found, especially after heavy rain. Nature lovers will find this place a nice retreat for a day trip.
