Is located in the rainforest of Sarawak, Borneo just 50min away from Kuching town. With a view over Sarawak river away from traffic and concrete this is a peaceful place to explore the tropical jungle surrounding and to join Liza and Lars on one of their activities.

Jungle shopping: Learn to understand the forest and how the locals have survived from what the forest can provide. What tastes good, what cures sickness, what is eatable and what may hurt you? Follow us plucking wild vegetables, fruits and herbs. If interested join us prepare all the ingredients for supper.

Trekking: Maybe you prefer a half day walk in the jungle, experience the wild. There are many sorts of plants, trees and animals to be seen along the way, just keep your eyes alert. At the far end of our bat cave there’s a small crystal clear stream where we usually stops for lunch before heading back.

After dark when the jungle awakes, it’s a good time to explore the nearby forest with a torch. There is amazing how many strange looking creatures who apparently hides during daytime.

River Safari: Paddle up the river where we can stop at one of the beaches for lunch and a bath. There’s a good change of spotting Kingfishers, Eagle, Monitor lizards and other animals from the boat if we’re not making to much noise.

We can also paddle downstream and end up in Kpg Semadang, Liza’s home village. A modern Bidayuh village with about 200 villagers, during daytime most people are either working in town or at their garden somewhere around the village. Get some refreshments in the village shop, visit the herbal garden and meet with the friendly villagers.

At 1 of june the annual Gawai starts and it is a perfect time to visit the village. This is a harvesting festival that last for a week. Everyone have a open house and you will guaranteed be invited for some snacks and perhaps a drink or two.
