Batang Ai Nationalpark

Program

Tag 1 : Kuching – Batang Ai

Pick-up from your Hotel in Kuching for a 290 km journey with en-route stops at a local market and a stop for lunch at a local restaurant/ café.
After lunch you will proceed to beautiful Batang Ai lake. Here, you will board native longboats for about 60 - 90 minutes (depending on water level) which will take you to a longhouse. Get to know the Ibans and their families during a tea break. You will be taken on a guided tour around this longhouse and join them in their daily chores. Late afternoon, you may feel free to swim in the blue lake or have a cold shower before your dinner is served.
After dinner in the longhouse, mingle around with the people before you retire for the night.

Accommodation : Iban Longhouse

Tag 2 : Batang Ai – Ulu Batang Ai 
After breakfast in the longhouse you will take a longboat ride for about 15-30 minutes to reach your jungle trek starting point. From here you will trek deep into the rainforest in search of flora and fauna. Learn about the native jungle ‘supermarket’ and ‘pharmacy’. During you trek you might see orang utan nests, which are built high up in the trees to protect themselves against any predators. A simple lunch, either packed or cooked in native style will be served along the way.  
Afternoon, you will arrive at a simple jungle shelter and start to prepare for your overnight here. Take a cooling dip in the crystal clear stream before enjoying a simple dinner, while night falls over the rainforest.

Accommodation : Simple Jungle Camp

Tag 3 : Ulu Batang Ai – Kuching 
After a simple breakfast, trek back to the longhouse. Now it’s time to say goodbye to your native friends and proceed by longboat downstream to reach the car for your transfer back to Kuching with a stop for lunch en-route.

The tour ends in Kuching City
