Sarawak - the Headhunters Trail
10 days
Sarawak is one of South-East Asia's best kept secrets. Trekking through virgin rainforest, exploring one of the world's biggest cave systems, staying in traditional longhouses and learning about the fascinating culture of the Iban people all combine for an inspiring adventure. Follow the Headhunters' Trail and experience one of the world's truly intrepid adventures.
Itinerary
Day 1 Miri:
Rub shoulders with expats, Chinese traders and tribal people in this oil boom town. If there's time, check out the wet markets for an introduction to the many cultures that give Miri its character.
Days 2-5 Mulu National Park:
Embark on a thrilling two-day journey along the Headhunters' Trail, venturing into spectacular caves filled with millions of bats. Hang around until dusk - these creatures coming out to feed is an incredible sight.
Day 6 Kuching:
Get a taste of the city again before heading back out into the wild. Kuching was once given to English adventurer Sir James Brooke as a thank you present, and his family ruled here until 1946.
Days 7-8 Iban Longhouse:
Learn about the amazing history and culture of the Iban people and be welcomed into their longhouses. Get an insight into their day-to-day life, learn about their headhunting history and maybe even knock back a glass of local firewater with them in the evening.
Days 9-10 Kuching:
Returning to Kuching take the time to explore the fascinating Sarawak Museum or take a stroll along the river bank to watch the tambang ferries glide by with their glowing lanterns. This is a great chance to stock up on interesting souvenirs.
