Abstract

The Bungo Range, in western Sarawak, is a distinct, semicircular ridge. The Range is associated with hills and plains, representing a complex mosaic of limestone and sandstone formations (Figure 3.1). Despite its proximity to major urban centres of Bau and Kuching, few explorers have investigated areas close to the Range. This may be due to the steep, karst towers at its periphery, lack of roads and location of its remote settlements. The situation is further complicated with the location of the Bungo Range at a poorly-demarcated area on the international border.
