Batang Ai National Park

Batang Ai National Park, located in Malaysia, offers a serene escape from the bustling city of Kuching. Accessible by longboat across an artificial lake and along the Batang Ai River, the park is part of a protected Borneo rainforest that extends into Indonesia. This lush, verdant landscape is home to Iban longhouses, where visitors can experience the rich cultural heritage of the region. The dense forest also provides a natural habitat for a variety of wildlife, including wild orangutans, gibbons, langurs, and hornbills, making it a prime destination for nature enthusiasts and those interested in indigenous cultures.
