The Sarawak Difference: It is the only destination where you can eat UNESCO-recognized street food for breakfast, trek through 140-million-year-old rainforest by lunch, and sleep in a communal longhouse with descendants of headhunters by dinner — all within 24 hours, without the tourist volume found in better-known tropical destinations.
