Batang Ai - Traditional Longhouse (home stay)
Introduction
In our opinion, an important part of any holiday in Sarawak is a visit to a traditional longhouse. Often housing as many as 20 or 30 families within their walls, this traditional form of tribal housing is more a village than one house! Each family has its own section of the longhouse often comprising of several rooms, including a kitchen. There is always a large communal area where the various inhabitants will eat and socialise together on a daily basis. We can arrange overnight stays with an Iban family (and your guide) at a longhouse. Whilst the facilities are certainly basic, they are safe and clean. Most guests agree that they are a true highlight of their holiday!
An essential stay on any visit to Sarawak in our opinion - Iban hospitality is legendary.
