Explore the Heart of Borneo with a Bario Homestay

Come to Bario in the highlands of Sarawak and experience the Kelabit Highlands and the culture of its namesake, the Kelabit people. 

Bario is home to the famous Bario Food Festival which is one of the biggest tourist draws for the area. The festival aside, there is much to see and enjoy in Bario. Situated in a highland plateau of over 1500m, the humid days turn into cool evenings in this wonderfully remote area of Sarawak. The warm hospitality of the villagers has earned it an affectionate name, the Land of a Hundred Handshakes.

Sina Rang Lemulun Homestay

We are honored to work with Sina Rang, owner of Sina Rang Lemulun Homestay and Handicraft, in promoting Bario as a travel destination. A local legend known for her work in the preservation of culture and nature, a stay here will give you an unparalleled experience of the Kelabit Highlands in Sarawak's Heart of Borneo.

A variety of activities are available, from free and easy stays to simply enjoy a stress-free time to extreme jungle treks and rock climbing. For more information on getting yourself to Bario, please visit our page for the Bario Food Festival.
