Such a unique experience! Loved the home stay, sitting in the hammocks listening to the rain was pretty special. It’s about 90min out of Kuching but the remoteness is part of the charm. Be aware there is no hot water, and family cats and dogs around the house. The food was so lovely - Salomas aunty Junim is beautiful!

Very knowledgable and patient guide Musa. Punctual and accomodating. The local Iban people were very pleasant, welcoming and hospitable. The accomodation while basic was tidy and spacious. Would definitely recommend bringing gifts that can be split between various families residing in longhouse and be prepared for very basic amenities. But lovely to experience a day in the life of an authentic asian villlage. We shared in luak and rice wine and had a great time sharing instruments and dancing the traditional iban style :) would recommend for those who are not afraid of roughing it a little bit.
