  2. Kenyah Dayak Ceremonies

    Every Sunday, Pampang has Kenyah Dayak ceremonies at its longhouse. These are not made-for-tourist performances, and rituals are relatively unadulterated. Offer a small donation for snapping photographs. Public minibuses to Pampang leave from Segiri terminal. Chartering a taxi or Kijang with other travellers is an alternative.
