The place…? It's in Sarawak, a place that is considered off the beaten trek, on the northern strip of lands of Borneo Island, Malaysia's biggest state.

But it is considered by many as “heaven on earth” as far as balanced ecology is concerned. Away from the busy, rat race of daily routine and the grind of “stiff competitions” such is the ideal get-away place to revive tired souls.

The environment is in good shape, thus providing an excellent refuge for flora and fauna. The result ... clean oxygen is plentiful.

Unlike Bali, you will be able to enjoy the music of chirpy birds that are native only to Sarawak's jungle. Feel the cool, misty morning air that might not be available elsewhere in the world.

It's the place where the ecosystem is still managed and balanced, despite the advent of "developments".

In such jungles you will find clean, clear fresh water rivers abound where fish and other marines live. There too, you will find waterfalls generating the calm streams into oxygen-packed brooks for the fish, animals and people around them. The good thing is that such places are easily accessible by roads, by 4-wheel-drive (4-WD) pick-ups and on foot and only several kilometers from people's settlements.

Walking on foot will of course provide healthy exercises to your body, and also a better way to learn about plants, birds, beautiful sceneries along the way. Moreover, it's the best means to bask in the abundant unpolluted air and inhale it as deeply as possible.

Deeper into the primary forests you'll still meet up with the famed, people-like orangutans in their original habitats. This is despite the logging and oil palm activities. For the orangutans live in certain types of jungles away from these human commercial activities.

Birds, animals of Bornean native, monkeys, insects and more live in peace, with enough foods from the forests available for each and every one of them.

Come therefore to find out for yourself. For that is the best way to prove claims such these or otherwise!

To get to Sarawak is easy. You need take the plane from either Kuala Lumpur or Singapore to Kuching, the state capital. There are daily flights from the Kuala Lumpur route, using the Malaysia Airways (MAS) or the economy AirAsia plane.

If you choose to go to from Singapore there are several during the week using MAS.

You can also come to Sarawak through direct flights from Hong Kong that land in Kota Kinabalu in the state of Sabah, also a Malaysian state.
