TAMAN KERANGAS EXPLORATIONExperience the Lundayeh hospitality.

There are many interesting places to visit near the villagers - the rice fields, the gardens, fish ponds, old village areas, burial sites, historical sites and smaller waterfalls. Near Long Pasia, you will also find a small forest of heath, reserved for the protection of orchids. The forest has two levels and in the lower level you will find both in-situ and ex-situ plants. This means some of the plants were growing here originally while the ex-situ orchids have been transfered to this spot after being saved in so called 'rescue missions' into the Ulu Padas logging concession area.

SUNGAI MATANG RIVER TRIP (traditional longboat)

Departing on the beautiful trip upriver from Long Pasia, you will initially see vegetable gardens and impressive patches of incredible sized bamboo. Further up river, the forest comes closer with hanging trees whose branches are almost all drpaed in ferns and orchids. The boat will stop at historical sites. A crocodile mound formed by soil many years ago, retains it's shape as a huge crocodile. Many headhunters feasted here upon returning from successful headhunting expeditions. You will visit old burial sites still containing parts of ancient Chinese jars that were used as containers for the remains of the dead. Far up river, a short distance from the burial site, you will see the impressive Batu Narit - a huge carved stone, which is said to have been decorated by the Lundayeh's forefather, the great Upai Semaring. You will spend the night in a camp on the riverbank. Depending on the water level in the river, the expert boatmen may now and again have to jump into the river drag the boat over shallow areas. If the boat cannot access all historical sites due to low water level, then the option will be to complete the journey by trekking on foot. At once in a lifetime river trip through this incredible natural environment.
