LEMANAK RIVER SAFARI
![[Dayak Pattern]](lines/vasedes.gif)
The journey by road of 225 kms long takes you pass lush, scenic countryside doted with small roadside towns, farmhouses, Malay, Chinese and Bidayuh villages, pepper orchards, rubber and oil palm plantations interpersed with creeper-covered trees of the secondary jungle and tall gigantic trees of primary rainforest. Stopover at Serian for a short tour of the town. Continue your journey to Lachau or another roadside town for lunch until you reach the Lemanak River where you will board a motorised longboat for a thrilling ride - travelling upstream against the flow of the water.

Arrive at Nanga Kesit longhouse and experience for yourself a way of life that goes back many centuries. Take a dip or swim in the cool water of the Lemanak River. Dinner at a guesthouse equipped with basic amenities. In the evening, entertainment by the longhouse residents will consist of traditional dances to the music of the gongs and drinking tuak. Stay a night in the guesthouse, built specially by the residents for guests' accommodation, in the heartland of Borneo rainforest, one of the oldest in the world. The next after breakfast take a short trek into the nearby jungle accompanied by Ibans dressed in traditional garb and armed with blowpipes. Depart for Kuching via the same route as your arrival. Lunch enroute before continuing with the journey to your hotel. The duration for this tour can range from 2Days/1Night to as long as 4Days/3Nights.
