Belaga is widely considered to be one of the best places to start explorations of the Sarawak interio. It is a small town located on the river near to many local communities and longhouse villages. It’s less than 100km from the South China Sea coast and has a population of under 50,000 – small but with a burgeoning tourist industry.
When it comes to food, you’re not going to be able to find extensive western and international menus in this tiny community, but you will be able to find tasty local food at good prices.
Your best bet is to go with local recommendations, but generally of all the cafes in town you’ll see that most have similar menus and pricing. Most of the food is traditional Malay cuisine, so expect plenty of tasty noodles with meat and vegetables. If you visit one of the longhouse communities you may even get the chance to taste some more obscure and unusual dishes, such as jungle fern and wild boar, which are prepared in the traditional ways of the tribes people.

The beauty of nature!
Belaga District is one of the most remote and largest districts in Sarawak with a size area of 19,403.27 sq km, where mega Bakun Hydro Project (BHP) is situated. BHP is projected to supply cheap electricity power for the country and even being proposed to be exported to neighbor countries like Brunei, Indonesia and even to Thailand. Belaga District is part of Sarawak Corridor of Renewable Energy (SCORE), encompassing an area of 70,000 sq km.
Belaga District is also home-to-be the largest water catchments area in South East Asia when Bakun Hydro Dam project completes sometime in 2011, that supply 2400 mw of electricity power. The artificial lake will stretches up the upper Balui River, Murum River, Linau River and many medium size of rivers and streams that will form a lake that is bigger than island of Singapore. Immediately beyond the artificial lake, visitors can see beautiful lowland mixed dipterocarp forest, with drooping trees overhanging the rivers. River transport is the main mode of communication here. The rivers are fast flowing and during dry periods, the water level gets quite low and visitors can pleasingly enjoy spectacular beautiful scenery nature.
Over and beyond the wealth Belaga derives from its land, however, are its people, its single richest asset. Its many ethnics groups, more than 15 in all and that is only the official figure, combine to lend Belaga a uniqueness that is all its own. The result is a colorful stew pot of culture, heritage and tradition.

The beauty of Belaga!
Belaga beauty lies in its isolation. It is sited off the well-beaten tourists trek and accessibility to Belaga, also called Heart of Borneo, due to its fauna and flora found there, has been fairly limited until today. Therein lies Belaga's greatest asset; It's unspoilt and its charms remain unsullied by tourism industry.
The most spectacular sights in Belaga such as in Usun Apau are found in its interior nature where nature is at its glorious best, still undisturbed by any tourism activity. Accessibility into these parts is either by road, logging road, air or river. Here, green-clad mountains dominate the skyline. Occasionally, a waterfall gushes down a sheer cliff, catching the sun rays in the process and forming a rainbow. Underneath, the ubiquitous rivers move at lightning speed, forming rapids as they weave their way through rocks.
As the largest district in Sarawak and straddled in remote central Sarawak, Belaga encompasses within its boundaries some of the world's richest forest, one of important archaeological finds in Malaysia and some of the world's most spectacular scenery. Indeed, one would be hard put to find another area in the world that has so much diversity in nature, people and culture in one neat package.

1 Stop Flight
Booked a one-stop ticket once. I expect the worst thing to be happened and it did, which is the flight is delayed for an hour during the first stop. As a solo traveller, I would say that it was a confusing yet challenging for me. Luckily, I havent got any issue with my tickets so far through trip.com.

Amazing view!
A must place to visit when you are in Bintulu. Love the sunset! Love the view! Well developed place to bring your families. There are open space to play kites, open mic (you can sing in public), you can play bubbles, playground for the kids, well maintained jogging track also provided, picnic and mores. The food is good and got variety. Ample parking slots but if you come after 5pm it is hard to find parking.
Not recommeded to swim because of the crocodile. #awesomepic #sunset
