Quick Answer
Is December not the ideal time to visit Sarawak?
December falls in Sarawak's toughest travel window (November – February). This is Sarawak's wettest period — heavy rain can make some rainforest trails muddy or temporarily inaccessible, though Borneo sees rain year-round to some degree. That said, it's usually the cheapest time to go if you can work around the trade-offs.
Sarawak's overall best season is April – October, and the toughest window to plan around is November – February. See the full month-by-month guide to compare every month at a glance.
