When in Kuching, a visit to the Sarawak Cultural Village is a must! As we were staying nearby, this attraction was one of the main events of our recent weekend trip. In total, there are 14 different houses that make up the village. Each house represents the style and living conditions of one of the tribes found in Borneo. Many of these tribes used to be head hunters and there is a bit about that to learn at the village too.
One has to appreciate that the houses are built as authentic as they could be. Which means that some have rather steep ladders made from tree trunks. Some tribes used to live in mountainous areas, which means that their houses are built into hills and thus, these ladders make for an adventurous ascend. Each house will have some demonstration or performance to explain a little about the culture of each tribe.
Rather educational overall and certainly well worth the money. In particular, the live performance is worth it. A number of traditional dances are performed with some background about what they mean.
Meanwhile, I am now also a semi-professional headhunter after my apprenticeship with this hunter:
