Barely half an hour from Kuching, Kubah is the city's rainforest next door — a sandstone ridge cloaked in one of the richest palm floras on Earth. Trails lead to a bathing waterfall, up Mount Serapi's summit road for views over the peninsula, and — after dark — to the park's star attraction: a frog pond alive with dozens of species, one of the best amphibian-watching sites in Borneo.
On Kubah's flank sits Matang Wildlife Centre, where rescued orangutans, sun bears and hornbills are rehabilitated — an easy add-on to a Kubah day.
