Depart for Batang Ai passing through scenic countryside consisting of quaint little towns, villages, paddy 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. Stop for lunch at Lachau, a small town on the way to the resort. Arrive at Batang Ai Hydro Lake. A 1 ¼ hour longboat journey takes you across the deep blue water of the lake and up the narrow Batang Ai River, past rugged hillsides dotted with rice fields and Pepper gardens, to Jingin or similar. Visit this 10 door longhouse and learn all about this “entire village under 1 roof.” Accommodation for the night is at the Longhouse and after dinner join the longhouse resident for a glass or two of tuak (rice wine). The Iban are a fun-loving people, and visitors may join in the activities that are going on in the Longhouse! Overnight in the longhouse. (L/D)
(Please note that most of the longhouses visited for jungle adventure do not have cultural performance in the evening.)
