General Information
Loagan Bunut which centers around Sarawak’s Largest natural lake, is the one of the most unusual aquatic ecosystems in Malaysia. The lake normally covers an area of approximately 65 hectares. However when the water level in the adjacent Tnjar river is low, the shallow lake can drain completely, leaving a huge expanse of dried and cracked mud.
When in season, you have a chance to observe the unique 'Selambau' fishing technique by the Berawan tribe. The Begawan fishermen are locals who developed this fishing technique, whereby they use huge scoop nets to catch the migrating fish found in the lake. These nets will be mounted on huge rafts, which will be positioned in the direction of the water flow. Hence, fishes will literally be scooped out of the water as they enter and leave the lake.
Highlight

Upon arrival at Loagan Bunut National Park, we take a boat trip to explore the lake and the surrounding forest to appreciate the magnificent scenery. The narrow longboats can penetrate some distance into the forest, offering an excellent close-up view of huge stilted tree roots and the chance to see monkeys and squirrels. Witness The Selambau scoop nets that are one of Loagan Bunut‟s most fascinating attractions, which can also be visited during the boat ride. During the fish migration periods you may watch the local fishermen at work. At other times of the year you are likely to see local fishermen using more conventional fishing methods, such as casting nets and pole nets, to harvest the lake‟s abundant supply of fish. Our visit also include the ancient Berawan burial platform, or Klirieng, which rears out of the waters of the lake, supported by two mighty Borneo ironwood columns. During tour, lunch is included at local canteen.
