Telok Melano (GPS: 2.00698, 109.64606) is a small Malay village located about 45 minutes from Sematan, Sarawak. A day trip from Kuching, Telok Melano offers picturesque views of the bay with Gunung Melano in the background.
Visitors to Telok Melano can go camping, do nature walks, go fishing or hire a boat for an outing. There are also accommodation for a Homestay programme. This can be arranged with the Fisheries Department Authority (Tel: 082 711358) or with Borneo Inbound Tours & Travel (Tel: 082 641741).
Getting there
Take STC Bus No. EP7 from Kuching to Lundu (fare: RM8.30, duration: 1 1/2 hours). From Lundu, catch STC Bus No. 17 to Sematan (fare: RM3.70). From Sematan, reaching Telok Melano is a bit tricky: ask around with the fishing boats to find out any going that way. Otherwise you can hire a speedboat for RM250.
Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
