For the experience of a lifetime, you have to take the headhunter's trail to the Mulu Caves with Hadi and his incredible river navigators. After a very interactive longboat river ride, we hiked to the base camp (picture yourself in an episode of "Lost") for the World Heritage Pinnacles climb and then on the next day to the famous Mulu bat caves. There is so much to see on the trek from monkeys to snakes, giant bamboos to razor sharp rattan and everything in between! You are rewarded for your efforts with the mesmerising phenomenon of the mass exodus of millions of bats at sundown. You'll have an amazing sense of achievement when you lay your head on your pillow in the luxury of the rainforest Mulu Marriott for your final night's stay. Hadi is a hugely experienced guide whose passion and respect for the jungle is infectious and knowledge is impressive. He is also very patient and happy to answer all your questions. I couldn't recommend him highly enough!

10. 3 days 2 nights Batang Ai Iban Longhouse & Semenggoh Wildlife Centre
Sarawakian’s rich cultures and customs, unique traditional rituals, dances, foods, and costumes are among the things that continue to intrigue and fascinate visitors and researchers from around the world. Their warm hospitality and simple ways of life are also some of the traits that many visitors find endearing. I guess, the fascination for this exotic destination also stems from interesting stories about the headhunters of Borneo. Images from National Geographic or Discovery Channel showing small dark people with tattooed bodies donning fancy headdresses of exotic bird feathers must have also fuelled the curiosity of our foreign visitors.
