ANNAH RAIS LONGHOUSE

Service Description

Morning departure from Kuching for a one-hour drive to Annah Rais, a Bidayuh longhouse home to approximately 120 families, located 75 km from Kuching. Nestled in a secluded valley among the mountains, its strategic location once helped the village hide from attacks by headhunters. The tour passes through breathtaking landscapes of rice fields, rubber, cocoa, and pepper plantations, interspersed with tropical forests, rivers, and mountainous terrain. Explore the longhouse with your guide and observe the lifestyle of the local inhabitants. Among the most interesting relics you will see are the famous “peace cannons” and several human skulls dating back about a hundred years, still preserved in the main house, the “Baruk.” Enjoy a refreshing break at a nearby stream before starting the journey back to Kuching.
