Lundu town now in difference than it was 15 years ago. I remember when I was staying at army camp here, the town was very small at that time.
Lundu is located in the south-western part of the Kuching Division and bordering West Kalimantan, Indonesia, offered attractive tourism products such as waterfalls, beaches and the national park. Lundu district and Sematan sub-district have natural attractions for tourist destinations.
When you visit Kuching, make your trip to Kuching a complete holiday trip with a day tour to explore the nature countryside in Lundu. There are unspoiled beaches in Lundu and Sematan waiting to be discovered.
The journey to the small town of Lundu is only 60-minute drive from Kuching on decent roads.
There are low cost budget hotels in Lundu at RM30.
The journey pass through several pepper plantations.
There are also several stalls along the way selling native fruits such as the small local bananas, rambutan and durian. The local fruits are always fresh.
In between the highway is a small river crossing. A new bridge was completed in 2008. The river itself is around 100 feet wide. Once you cross the bridge, Lundu is in sight in minutes.
This small town is divided up into ethnic areas - a typical Malay village and a typical Iban village.
The town center is a few rows of shops, and on the weekend, they have a market selling vegetables, meats, and various other items.
Lundu is the gateway to some tropical attractions. The most popular destination is Gunung Gading National Park, home of the Rafflesia Flower, the world's largest flower. A full blooms of this flower reach diameters of one meter.
Gunung Gading Park has facilities to stay in and is well-maintained.
Hiking trails go up a small mountain and at the bottom of the trail is a natural-spring swimming pond cool and refreshing.
There are also two nice and deserted beaches - Pandan, and Siar beaches. Since most tourists don’t come this way and beaches aren’t that special to the locals, you can get some real privacy here.
There are a chalets for rent. They are simple structures and have good locations right on the beaches.
30 minutes little further away from Lundu is Sematan beach. Another deserted awesome little beach with a nice little protected swimming area between two large rock formations. The beach is a nice, smooth coral sand and you can walk on the beach quite a ways before coming to any kind of house or settlement.
