Four decades on, I find myself on the island, on a 10-day tour of the forested Malaysian region of Sarawak, which lies along the northwest shore. Strolling along the bustling waterfront of Kuching, the region’s capital , I realise the real Borneo is more varied and textured than the Borneo of my boyhood visions: a place with modern, urban attractions as well as the tangle of nature beyond.The city has busy bars, shops selling crafts and a restaurant scene in the midst of reviving cuisine.

Unauthorized use is prohibited. From here, I go east, rounding the coast in a little motorboat towards Bako National Park. We head towards a sandy cove, cruising past rocks shaped like spitting cobras, carved that way over thousands of years by the push and pull of the waves. Besides myself and the crew, there’s no one else in sight. Alighting, we trek the park trails.
