Bawang Assan Longhouse Village

Lonely Planet may earn a commission from affiliate links on our site. All recommendations and reviews reflect our own independent opinions.

An Iban village one hour downstream from Sibu (by road the trip takes just 40 minutes), Bawang Assan has nine ‘hybrid’ longhouses (longhouses that combine traditional and 21st-century elements). To stay here without going through a Sibu-based tour company, contact the Bawang Assan Homestay Programme; ask for Marcathy Gindau.
