2D1N Batang Ai Longhouse
Batang Ai Longhouse Sarawak
Day 01 : Depart to Batang Ai Longhouse (B, L, D)
Today we depart for Batang Ai passing through scenic countryside consisting of quaint little towns, villages, padi fields, pepper and oil palm plantations interspersed with secondary and virgin jungle as the road starts to wind and undulate as you go deeper into the interior with a short stopover at Serian Town. The 2nd Stopover will be for lunch at Lachau, a small town on the way to the resort. Arrive at Batang Ai Hydro Lake. The journey will take you across the lake into the Engkari River, one of the many tributaries flowing into the lake. The journey will take approximately 37 minutes before reaching Ukom Longhouse nestled on a hill beside the river. Check in to your dormitory styled accommodation and explore the longhouse at your own pace while discovering its people and its surroundings. Later in the evening, you are required to prepare one of the popular dishes called “Manok Pansoh” (Bamboo Chicken). Whether or not your Chicken cooked in Bamboo turns out right depends on you as you are also to learn the technique of turning the bamboo from time to time at our specially built fireplace. After dinner join the longhouse residents for a glass or two of tuak (rice wine) and a short cultural performance. The Iban are a fun-loving people, and visitors are expected to join in whatever activities are going on at the Longhouse! Overnight in the guesthouse. Overnight in the longhouse dormitory style accommodation build for visitors. (B, L, D)
