There will be time for some last minute shopping to get supplies such as Adidas Kampung shoes ( local trekking shoes- recommended ) and there will be a briefing of what the next couple of weeks have in store. In the evening, seafood dinner will be provided. Overnight at hotel 4*
0800hrs Start your journey by 4-Wheel Drive (4WD) to Kedaya Telang Usan (Baram Upper River). The drive takes approximately 6 hours.

You will have a short stop at Lapok Town for toilet break, and next stop will be at Kilometers 10 (about 2 hours from Lapok Town). Enjoy the scenic view of green mountain & forest. Late afternoon arrive at Segah Sela’an Homestay.
Breakfast at Sela’an Home stay. After breakfast, proceed to take a boat transfer to Ba’ Ajeng. The boat ride from Long Segah to Ba’Ajeng will take about 1 to 2 hours depending on water level at the day. You might have to push & pull the boat when the water level is low. Or at some point you will have to walk by the riverbank. Transfer by boat is depending very much on the water level and weather on the day itself. Enjoy the beauty and the serenity of Ulu Baram by small boat after a long 4WD journey. Upon arrival at Ba’ Ajeng, meets and greet with your host. Free to explore the surrounding area and chit-chat with the community while your host preparing your dinner. Overnight at your hosts house.

** Overnight at Ba’ Ajeng Village
** Please bring your own sleeping bag/Sleeping mat.
You will spend the next 2 days with our welcoming hosts learning about their rapidly changing way of life and just how much they still rely on the rainforest for their daily needs, which is literally their supermarket. Accommodation will be provided in hosts house. Over the next few days you will spend time learning about the way of life of the Penan people and their native skills and knowledge such as the vast array of medicinal and edible plants in the forest, and of course how to make the infamous blow pipes and poison darts! The time here is planned for maximum flexibility, so that you can get the most out of this experience.

You have the opportunity to assist in the planting of saplings in the forest, take walks into the jungle to swim in nearby waterfalls and simply relax in a beautiful environment surrounded by nature. Food will be simple, healthy and organic. Expect lots of rice and wonderful jungle vegetables such as jungle fern and wild ginger flower. Food is collected from the forest and in addition to the vegetables there will quite likely be forest meat which is still the main source of protein for the people here. Baths and showers are often taken in rivers and waterfalls(bio-degradable soap to a minimum), however some houses may have a room for washing, with bucket showers. Your hosts are incredibly friendly and welcoming and you will be very comfortable and well looked after. The Penan people make some of the best quality and beautifully designed rattan baskets and mats in Sarawak, and as a memento of your trip there is no better place to buy.
Start an exciting 3 days/2nights of jungle trekking, exploration and sleeping in expedition standard hammocks under the canopy of one of the oldest rainforests on Earth and the traditional home of the Penan tribe who remain the jungle experts of Borneo and ‘keepers of the rainforest’. Expect to be trekking between 4-5 hours each day while learning all about basic jungle survival skills, how to build shelters, finding safe drinking water and food and starting fires. Each night will be a new campsite and you will be expected to carry your own kit and expedition hammocks as we make our way through the jungle trails… These will be hot and sweaty challenging days but hugely rewarding.

** Breakfast/Lunch in the jungle
** Dinner & overnight at jungle shelter/camp
** Please bring your own hammock/sleeping bag/Sleeping mat/mosquito net
