Sarawak is divided into three regions; the coastal lowlands comprising of peat swamps and narrow deltaic and alluvial plains, a large region of undulating hills ranging to about 300 meters, and the mountain highlands extending to the Kalimantan border.

Before the advent of roads, all the native communities who lived by the river depended on it for food and water. Communities still use rivers to transport them to their farms as well as other villages and towns.

Being Near to the Equator, Sarawak has a hot and humid climate all year round with ground temperatures between 20 to 30 degrees centigrade.
