Mount Santubong (Malay: Gunung Santubong) is a mountain in the Malaysian state of Sarawak. It is located about 35 km north of the state capital Kuching.
In 1855 a British naturalist, Alfred Russel Wallace who was staying at Santubong while collecting specimens in Sarawak, wrote a paper while called "Sarawak Law" which can be considered as a precursor to the biological theory of evolution.
Mount Santubong lies within a gazetted national park of the same name. Entry to the park is now via the temporary Sarawak Forestry Corporation park headquarter entrance. The issue of custodian of park entry has now been put to rest by the relevant authorities

We live in a world full of noises and influences, and a retreat to nature is a perfect way to unplug ourselves and break away from our repetitive, autopilot lives. With all the noises gone, this gives us the space to contemplate, reflect and ponder upon our purpose in life, to weigh all the influences that we've fed our minds with and how do they fit in with our values. It re-centers you, if you will.
A legend often associated with the mountain is of two beautiful princesses of heaven, Santubong and Sejinjang. Santubong was an expert weaver while Sejinjang was an excellent rice tresher. When war broke out between two villages, Kampung Pasir Putih and Kampung Pasir Kuning, the King of Heaven sent the princesses to keep peace in both villages. The villagers saw both beautiful princesses and stopped the war. After the war, both princesses taught the villagers their expertise and both villages began to trade and become prosperous. Many princes heard of them and came from the whole island to marry them, but all was denied by them. On day, a handsome prince came, and the princesses had a quarrel and exchange blows because both of them fell in love with the prince. Sejinjang swung her fresher ...
Climbing Mount Santubong was our biggest challenge in Sarawak. Mount Santubong is located about 35 km north of Kuching. It is 810 meters high. Including breaks going up and down took us 7 hours. It was quite an exhausting jungle climbing tour but the feeling of success was worth every minute.

http://wilsonchin.blogspot.com/2011/04/climb-mount-santubong-kuching-sarawak.html I conquer mount Santubong with a record of 2 1/2 hours, not bad for a person with no regular exercise. I start my journey at Bukit Puteri which is the shorter route to the mount. a lot of ladder and ropes climbing. The first part of the trek you need a lot of energy, use to walk a lot, when reaching the send part of the climb, use a lot of your body muscle for all the climbs. Fun trip, will definitely go back again!!!
