For me, getting to the longhouse was the best part. Myself and a fellow traveller hired a driver/guide to do a day tour including Semenggoh Nature Reserve and two long houses. Annah Rais was interesting to see, people seemed friendly considering the volume of tourists they must normally see (tourism way down because of COVID, few weeks before lockdown). The drive to Annah Rais was beautiful, the highlight of the day. We made many stops to explore and take photos along the way.…

I'm not sure what I was expecting but my visit to Annah Rais Longhouse felt like a complete letdown. This Bidayuh settlement is located around one hundred kilometres South of Kuching, for a small fee we were able to wander freely along the bamboo terrace between the ecclectic mix of buildings of simple construction. We encountered very few locals or tourists, refreshments can be bought at a store, also freshly sun baked tapioca 'chips' can be bought from a resident. Of interest was the Head House or Panggah complete with skull bones. Having my time over in Kuching I would not invest any time to visit Annah Rais Longhouse.…
