Then, witness spectacular views of the surrounding landscape as you travel by boat across the lake and up the narrow Batang Ai River. Make a stop at Jingin to learn about the traditional 10-door longhouses, created to house entire villages under one roof. In the evening, make new friends as you join the longhouse residents for a glass or two of “tuak” (rice wine) and other fun local activities. Spend the night in the longhouse.

After breakfast at the longhouse, make your way into the heart of Borneo for three days of guided trekking, accompanied by experienced Iban wildlife trackers. Hike deep into the remote Batang Ai National Park, snaking your way up against the Indonesian border and climbing as high as 1600m above sea level.

Home to a large population of native orangutans, there is a high chance you will get up close (or face to face) with these gentle and majestic “men of the forest”. See other rare wildlife species and fascinating plant life as you continue your hike through this diverse tropical rainforest. Spend the night camping in tents or makeshift shelters constructed by your guides using leaves and branches.

Continue on a final day of trekking through the virgin rainforest as you learn how to survive in the wild and track native wildlife. Spend your last night in the forest.

Time to say goodbye Malaysia. Have a hearty breakfast and we take a longboat downstream, across the lake to the jetty. En route, we enjoy a packed lunch before reaching Kuching Airport for a flight coming home. The trip ends. Hope we had an unforgettable trip and if you are going to enjoy the Asia travel package again, do not forget us.
