    Sarawak Cultural Village

    Kuching

    Overview

    Highlights:

    • Learn more about the culture, lifestyle and architecture of Sarawak’s tribes

    Escape modern life as we venture to the lush foothills of Mount Santubong to visit the Sarawak Cultural Village. Step back in time to discover the traditions and lifestyles of the diverse ethnic groups that have shaped Borneo’s vibrant culture for centuries - the Orang Ulu, Bidayauh, Iban, and Melanau. As we wander through the village, marvel at the impressive range of traditional houses and structures of Sarawak's ethnic communities and immerse yourself in typical village life. Chat with the locals and try your hand at traditional crafts and skills, such as wood carving, sugarcane crushing, and weaving with natural fibres. Embrace the role of an ancient hunter as you try your hand at a Penan blowpipe, or unleash musical talents by playing the traditional orang ulu sape stringed instrument. We conclude our visit with a lively, multi-ethnic cultural performance at the mini theatre.
