One of the most authentic and welcoming longhouses close to Putussibau, Ariung is home to 38 families in a jungle setting on the banks of the Sungai Mandalam. It's abut 8km east of Putussibau: follow Jl Mupa north of town, cross the bridge, turn left at Nanga Sambus and look out for the sign. It's across the river via a swing bridge.
