French colonial architecture, and the incredible shopping in malls, markets and everywhere in between. To296 results are available, use up and down arrow keys to navigate. Flying into a remote jungle airstrip, the trip begins with a four night stay in the Ulu Baram region with Borneo’s last nomadic tribe, the Penan. Exploring this pristine fly yoga kuching rainforest with Penan guides and staying in local homestays, you will be supporting a community based tourism initiative while benefitting from a genuine cultural experience.

Then an unorthodox route into Mulu National Park, sailing through the Park’s river network and taking a short flight from a jungle airstrip called Marudi. This World Heritage Site is renowned for it’s extensive cave system and is home to some of the world’s largest cave passages. Nature enthusiast will enjoy discovering some of Borneo’s incredibly diverse flora and fauna on guided treks through the park, before viewing the spectacular daily bat exodus from Deer Cave at dusk. After a brief respite in the cultural capital of Kuching, travel to Batang Ai for a chance to explore the Borneo rainforest on foot in search of the elusive orang-utan and stay in an Iban community homestay. You need to be quite fit for this trip, the trekking element in the forest and especially going to the Mulu pinnacles is relatively demanding, mostly due to the effects of heat and humidity that will tax your body. After a few days your body will have acclimatised and in the villages there is plenty of opportunity to swim and cool down in the river and fresh pools. The rainforest is a clean environment.

We travel using trails and the rivers which have been the jungle arteries for the local native residents for hundreds of years. It is very unlikely that you’ll be off the beaten track with a machete. Movement in the jungle is generally slow, about 10 kms per day, and it is easy to feel exhausted after just a few hours. Keeping rehydrated is paramount and looking out for natural dangers such as thorns or tripping over moss-covered rocks. There is also quite a lot of travel on the rivers of Borneo in longboats.
