Experience the traditions of the Iban people with an overnight stay in a traditional longhouse, surrounded by the untouched beauty of Sarawak’s rainforest. The Ibans are one of Sarawak’s native tribes, formerly known as fierce headhunters. Today, they are peaceful and welcoming hosts, inviting visitors to gain an insight into their traditional way of life.
