Annah Rais Longhouse
Rumah Panjang Annah Rais
A traditional Bidayuh village of bamboo and timber longhouses, where you can experience rice wine, bamboo-tube rice and Indigenous village life. Hot springs are nearby.
Annah Rais lies in the hills about 60 km south of Kuching. It is one of the longest-established Bidayuh longhouse villages, where hundreds of residents still live in longhouses connected by bamboo walkways. Visitors can see the baruk round skull house, where skulls are kept, sample homemade rice wine (tuak) and bamboo-tube rice, or stay overnight in a longhouse homestay. Natural hot springs and streams are nearby. The village entrance fee is about RM 10–20. There is no public transport, so visitors usually travel by chartered car or tour group. The drive takes about 1.5 hours.
