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. #syukurnikmat #awesomepic #passionpassport
