Kapit


96800 Kapit
Sarawak
East Malaysia


The largest district in Sarawak, Kapit has rich natural resources and adequate basic infra-structure. Despite its distance from the larger cities and its location deep in the interior of Sarawak, the town of Kapit has developed into an up and coming investment and development area in the state.


Kapit was founded by the second White Rajah as a garrison town to pacify the warring tribes. Today, although accessible only by boat or light aircraft, it is the vibrant commercial and social center for the middle Rejang catering to the longhouse communities and timber camps. It is an excellent base for exploring nearby longhouses or for arranging trips to the Upper Rejang and the Baleh River.
