JOurney tO Kpg Long Atip and Kpg Long Bemang

ADVENTURE TO LONG ATIP AND LONG BEMANG : MODERN KAYAN KAMPUNG



Celebrating Christmas 2008 at Kpg Long Atip and Kpg Long Bemang at Ulu Apoh River. It took us 6 hour travelling using 4 X 4 off roadvehicle. It a holiday that I look forward too as it in the interior of Sarawak in Baram thus no hustle of the city life. No email, no phone...pure relaxation.




Long Atip is a Kayan village with modern facilities such as generator for electricity for the village (only operating from 6 pm - 12 pm). However, individual house have their own generator to generate electricity. School, Church and graviti water filter for the village. Each of the house is nicely deco with parquet wall and cement floor. It is like a terrace house in a big city. The people there are wonderfull, always cheerful and helpfull. Comfort at a serene interior. That life!



The activities during Christmas -

1. Christmas dinner
2. Games
3. Traditional dance
4. Long dance
5. Meet friends and families







The trip is an adventure itself. Going by using 4 X 4 through secondary forest and plantation... basically off road for 6 hours. Going through Long Lama Town. Then reach Long Atip Village.

Coming back to town... that another adventure as we use 4 X 4 for 1 hour to Temalak camp (Timber camp) and use the express boat to Marudi.


Nice trip that we have. will post more information in the coming days.
