LONGHOUSE VISITS
The main reason travellers visit Belaga is to venture up a jungle stream in search of hid-
den longhouses and secret waterfalls. Possible destinations include (listed alphabetically):
» Dong Daah - a Kayan longhouse 10 minutes upriver by boat from Belaga
» Lirong Amo - a Kayan longhouse about half-an-hour's walk from Belaga
» Long Liten - a huge, old Kejaman longhouse a ways upriver
» Long Segaham - a Kejaman longhouse situated upriver
» Sekapan Panjang - a traditional, all-wood Sekapan longhouse half-an-hour down-
stream by boat from Belaga
» Sihan - a Penan settlement a two-hour walk from the other bank of the Batang Rejang
Before you can share shots of tuak with smiling locals, however, you need to find a guide.
A good package should include a boat ride, jungle trekking, a waterfall swim, a night
walk and activities such as cooking and fruit harvesting.
