We will depart by flight from Miri to Bario Highlands in the morning. On Arrival, transfer to the lodge for one night’s accommodation. After local set lunch at the lodge, we will visit the Ulung Palang and Bario Asal longhouses inhibited by the Kelabit tribe in the Bario Valley. Briefing by your guide of your trek will be held at the lodge prior to dinner. Overnight at the lodge.  
Breakfast at the lodge before we start the trek to Pa’Ukat longhouse, then to Pa’Lungan. Trek time will be 4 hours over one small hill (Ra’an Barit) and we will arrive about mid-afternoon. Settle in while your guide will prepare you lunch. Dinner and overnight at the headman’s home.   
We wake up early today, have breakfast and visit the Ritoh Monument before we start on our trek to Long Repun. Trek time will be 5-6 hours involving a fairly strenuous climb over Singkulup Hill with a few
river crossings. We will arrive at Long Repun jungle shelter late evening.
The shelter is the mid-point journey for us to cross over to Indonesia next day and the site used to be inhabited by the Kelabits (now moved to Pa’Ukat and Pa’Lungan) over 50 years ago during the Japanese occupation of Sarawak. Overnight at the jungle shelter.   
We have an early trek today to cross over the Indonesian territory. Trek time is around 5 hours and will cross over one hill (Ra’an Bulu) which marks the Malaysian/Indonesian boundary, with a stop at the bamboo plantation for lunch. We are now in Indonesia and we will arrive at a local village called Pa’Rupai where the tribe here is called Lun Dayeh. WE continue another 2-3 hours trek (3 km) across the rice fields to arrive at Bakelalan. We will be arriving late in the afternoon and proceed straight to the lodging house for dinner and overnight.   
We have an early breakfast today and visit the coffee/apple plantations in the valley. Standby for our return flight to Miri via Lawas.
