This rough wood-and-rattan Benauq Dayak longhouse is sparsely occupied during the day, but welcomes visitors – especially those interested in purchasing woven handicrafts, bracelets or an ornately carved mandau (machete). You may be able to negotiate a homestay, but be prepared with your own bedding. It's 30km southwest of Melak.
