The state of Sarawak is one of the two states on the eastern part of the country.

The Bukit Aup Jubilee Park is one park that you should not miss. Whether you are an adventure lover, a nature enthusiast or just someone who wants a gateway amidst the beautiful lush green; far from the bustling cities of the world, the park is the perfect place to spend a day or two.

In 1998, the park won the National Landscaping Competition so you can definitely expect to find yourself in a beautifully landscaped park with an amazing view of the Igan River. The park plays home to a lookout tower that is an amazing place to be in to get a bird’s eye view of the entire park. From the tower, which is located on the highest point one can see the nearby plantations. The longhouses dotting the riverside look tiny from up here and the Igan River can be seen a close distance away. If you are lucky, you might just meet up with some of the local Ibanese people who come to the tower to offer burnt sacrifices to the Naga Bari to help them when they are in need. The locals are friendly and you could join in on the ceremonies of the sacrifice if you like to.
