Bako National Park
Bako National Park, established in 1957, is the oldest national park in Sarawak, eastern Malaysia, on the island of Borneo. It covers an area of at the tip of the Muara Tebas peninsula at the mouth of the Bako and Kuching Rivers. It is approximately by road from Kuching. Millions of years of erosion of the sandstone have created a coastline of steep cliffs, rocky headlands and stretches of white, sandy bays. Wave erosion at the base of the cliffs has carved many of the rocky headlands into fantastically shaped sea arches and seastacks with colored patterns formed by iron deposition. Some of these rock formations can be seen on entry to the Teluk Assam Beach, which fronts the park. The park can only be reached by a 20-minute boat ride from the village of Kampung Bako. It is often visited as a day-trip from Kuching, though accommodations (campground and forestry service bungalows) are available.
Bako is one of the smallest national parks in Sarawak. However, it features multiple biomes (including rainforest), abundant wildlife, jungle streams and waterfalls, secluded beaches, and trekking trails. A network of 16 marked walking trails of different lengths allows visitors access. In addition, various beaches are accessible by boat from Kampung Bako or Teluk Assam, as well as a geologically interesting sea stack rock formation. The range of attractions and activities in a compact area have made Bako one of the most popular parks in Sarawak.
The park was the final pit stop of The Amazing Race Asia 1.
== Flora ==
Bako contains almost every type of plant life found in Borneo, with over 25 distinct types of vegetation from seven complete ecosystems: beach vegetation, cliff vegetation, ''kerangas'' or heath forest, mangrove forest, mixed dipterocarp forest, ''padang'' or grasslands vegetation and peat swamp forest.〔Ashton, P.S. 1971. The plants and vegetation of Bako National Park. ''Malayan Nature Journal'' 24: 151–162.〕 The unusual plant life includes a variety of carnivorous plants (four species of pitcher plants,〔''Lonely Planet'' description of Bako National Park, "()", retrieved 6 Jun 2011.〕 sundews, bladderworts) as well as a huge variety of tree and other plant species.
