![]() MASwings Borneo Headhunter's Trail in 5 Days TourOne of the best trek in Borneo!
When head-hunting was at its height, a hundred years ago, Kayan war parties from the Baram made their way through the Mulu area to attack the Murut longhouse and Chinese farmers along the Limbang River. Paddling their war canoes up the Melinau River to the Melinau Gorge, they dragged them 3km overland to the headwaters of the Terikan River. The "Kayan Road" a 4 m wide trail with poles laid acrossit to facilitate dragging the boats. Today we called the route the "Headhunter's Trail". Join MASwings to explore Borneo Headhunter's Trail in 5 Days of adventure and fun.

The Iban are generally very reserved people unless, of course, they get on to their home-brewed rice wine!
