At 09:00hrs, depart Kuching for 4½ hours leisure drive to the Batang Ai Jetty for Batang Ai river. There will be three stopovers along the route: - Serian - a predominantly Dayak trading town, Chinese farm house to see how pepper and cocoa are grown and at Lachau for lunch. The journey passes through scenic countryside of rice fields, rubber, cocoa, pepper and oil palm plantations, which intermingle with luxuriant tropical rainforest, rivers and mountain ranges. Upon arrival at the river jetty, proceed by motorized longboat for about 45 minutes, crossing the Batang Ai Lake, passing through scenic views, rice fields and fish farms to reach Mengiling Longhouse. Proceed to the longhouse for a warm welcome. Tour the longhouse, watch the natives at work such as making mats, baskets, handicrafts and mending fish nets. Join the natives in their daily chores - feeding their livestock, washing clothes etc and enjoy a swim in the floating swimming pool. After dinner, socialize with the longhouse dwellers, witness cultural performances and presentation of gifts before retiring for the night at the guesthouse.
