There are 17 villages consisting of longhouses and individual houses widely spread throughout Bario valley. The Kelabit speak their own tribal language, but many have learnt to speak Malay and English too. A majority of the natives here are farmers and Bario‟s highland rice is considered one of the finest in the world, with its soft texture, fine elongated grains and splendid taste. The rice is being planted and harvested using traditional methods without usage of pesticides or chemical fertilizers. BARIO ARRIVAL (-/L/D) Day 1 Meet on arrival at Bario airport and transfer to a lodge/ homestay. After lunch, we will explore Bario valley, which brings us to Ulung Palang longhouse, the school in Bario and Bario Asal, the oldest longhouse in Bario which ancient timbers are darkened by the constant smoke of generations of cooking fires. Here you might still see a few ladies with earlobes that have been elongated with heavy brass earrings over many years, an old Kelabit tradition. After touring the surrounding, we will walk back to the lodge/ homestay for dinner. Overnight at the lodge/ homestay (simple accommodation). Meals included: Lunch Dinner BARIO (B/L/D) Day 2 After breakfast, we will take a 4-wheel-drive vehicle to Pa Umor (~20 minute drive). From here we will trek for about 30 minutes to the salt spring, where the famous Bario salt is produced. Witness how the spring water containing brine is boiled until all water is evaporated. Bario salt is considered an organic salt, which is rich in natural minerals and therefore has many health benefits. After a local lunch, you will go to see the remnants of the megalithic culture once practiced by the Kelabit tribe. There are hundreds of ancient stone artefacts to be found throughout the Northern highlands of Sarawak, which were either incised, carved, erected or arranged to become impressive rock monuments. These megalithic practices were carried out during certain ceremonies and in Sarawak are unique to the Kelabit tribe. First you will visit the Batu Narit Arur Bilit. In the Kelabit language Batu Narit means engraved stone. This particular megalith with the name Arur Bilit sits right in the middle of a paddy field and depicts a human with both arms stretched upwards. The second site you will visit is Batu Ipak Upai Semaring, a stone formation created by and named after a legendary hero. Return to the lodge for dinner.

Alhough much of Sarawak has been the fact that Malaysia is one of the most popular logged and developed, the state still contains destinations for birdwatchers visiting the region, extensive tracts of rainforest habitat; it is still one very few visit the largest state in the country. of the least developed states in Malaysia once away Peninsular Malaysia, and the state of Sabah in east from the four main coastal cities.

BirdLife as well as by many independent birdwatchers. But International has designated 22 Important Bird Areas Malaysia’s largest state, Sarawak, which sits (IBAs) in Sarawak, the highest number for any state between the two and occupies one fifth of eastern in Malaysia and more than in all the states of west Borneo, is unfortunately often overlooked by Malaysia combined (18), whilst Sabah has 15 IBAs birdwatchers.

  • The Kelabit Highlands
    Lund University Centre for East and South-East Asian Studies Masters Programme in Asian Studies East Asian Track Fall Semester, 2005 A Case Study of Ecotourism in the Kelabit Highlands Is it Sustainable? Author: Christopher Rodger Supervisor: Stefan Eklöf Abstract The purpose of this study was to examine ecotourism in the Kelabit Highlands, Malaysia, in terms of the sustainability of the industry. The empirical material, which is based on interviews carried out in the field, is analysed within the context of sustainable development theory in order to examine the central and most critical factors in determining the long-term future of ecotourism in the Kelabit Highlands, and in particular how these factors are likely to affect tourism patterns and the structure of the tourism industry in this region. The central conclusion drawn is that the geographic isolation of the area and the logging of the Kelabit communal forests are the two most critical factors impacting upon the tourism industry in the Kelabit Highlands. These two issues will be central in determining the future direction of tourism in this area and ultimately if ecotourism in the Kelabit Highlands is sustainable. 2 Table of contents Introduction ................................................................................ 4 Objectives ..........................................................................................................................5 Methodology ......................................................................................................................5

  • Analysis of Sarawak Bario Rice Diversity Using Microsatellite Markers
    American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences 4 (4): 298-304, 2009 ISSN 1557-4989 © 2009 Science Publications Analysis of Sarawak Bario Rice Diversity Using Microsatellite Markers S.C. Wong, P.H. Yiu, S.T.W. Bong, H.H. Lee, P.N.P. Neoh and A. Rajan Department of Basic Science and Engineering, Faculty of Agriculture and Food Sciences, University Putra Malaysia Bintulu Campus, 97000 Bintulu, Malaysia Abstract: Problem statement: There are numerous claims on varieties of Bario rice cultivars in Sarawak. Many of them might be synonyms or homonyms. This preliminary study was to differentiate Bario Rice cultivars using microsatellite molecular markers. Approach: Microsatellite marker panels distributed on all 12 chromosomes on rice genome were employed to study 8 Bario rice cultivars in Sarawak. Results: Current study indicated that the microsatellite panel were able to differentiate the 8 Bario rice cultivars. A total of 31 alleles were generated at 12 polymorphic microsatellite loci among the cultivars using the selected polymorphic SSR primer pairs with an average of 2.6 alleles per locus. Average PIC value obtained was 0.5204. An UPGMA dendrogram based on SSR polymorphism indicated high variation among the rice varieties with the coefficient ranging from 0.16 and 0.92. Genetic diversity determination using cluster analysis showed differentiation of rice cultivars into 2 major groups and several sub-groups. Conclusion: The SSR markers were useful for differentiating the genotypes and assessment of genetic relationships due to its reproducibility and to multiallelic, codominant and informative properties. Key words: Microsatellite markers, genetic diversity, Bario rice cultivars, Sarawak INTRODUCTION loci is their hypervariability, which is associated with the expansion potential of the SSR motif itself.

The Diary of a District Officer: Alastair Morrison's 1953 Trip to the Kelabit Highlands Abstract In 1953, Alastair Morrison, then acting District Officer for the Bara, traveled to the Kelabit Highlands along with his wife, photographer Hedda Morrison, and ever changing entourage of 'coolie" porters and guides. This journey was part of his regular responsibilities as a District Officer. During such tours, Morrison surveyed longhouse communities and collected information about the local population and spoke to people about government policies, school fees, taxes, the registering of guns, and often sought to resolve local disputes. Such journeys were summarized in formal reports. However, Morrison also kept travel notebooks, which he later used to write his memoir, which summarized the highlights of his life in Sarawak (Morrison 1993).
