An exploration beginning in Kuching that takes you into the heartland of the Iban tribe along the Lemanak River. Be immersed in their culture and way of life as you eat and sleep (and dance) in their world. Be intrigued by their livelihood and learn about their hunting methods, bamboo cooking lunches and their dependence on the rainforest for everything from their foods to their medicines.
We will pick you up in the morning from your hotel and depart for a four hour drive to the jetty. During our journey we will pass through a scenic route of rural villages, towns, gardens of peppers and fields of rubber and paddy. Then we will have a short stop at Serian Town for refreshments (own expenses). Later on we will have our lunch at Lachau, which is a humble upcountry Chinese village. After lunch we will proceed to the final stage of the overland journey and arrive at the river jetty. Here we will board a longboat that will take approximately a 40 minutes boat ride and travel up to the river to an Iban Longhouse.
At the longhouse you will meet the natives with their families and you will be taken for a tour around the longhouse. During the tour, witness the natives at work making mats, baskets, handicrafts and mending fishing nets. After dinner, join in the fun filled evening with the traditional dance and enjoy the locally brewed rice wine known as "Tuak". Overnight at the longhouse.
Start your day with a hearty breakfast. After breakfast, the Iban people will give you a presentation with their traditional weapon, the blowpipe which you could participate in.
