Annah Rais Bidayuh Longhouse is located at Kampung Annah, not far from Borneo Highland and about 1 hour and 30 minutes driving from Kuching City. It is a very good place to visit especially by those who love the culture of Bidayuh ethnics. What special in Annah Rais Longhouse? In the longhouse, the visitor can see how the bidayuhs carry their lifestyles with lots of traditional cultures that still remain until now. There also, the visitors can see the real human skulls that according to the villagers, those skulls are the skulls of warriors of the past who had been defeated by the Bidayuh Headhunters. If you are lucky, they will allow you to see the special, supernatural, mystical human skull which is very shiny yellowish colour and very big in shape believed to be the biggest warrior ever defeated. Believe me, I have been there, and I have seen the skull, it was really 'special'. With rm8 entrance, the visitor will have one hour walk and get as much information from the villagers about the Bidayuh culture and the visitors also will have the chance to see the real Bidayuh traditional house.

this is where the warriors skulls are kept.

Located at Annah Rais also, is the Hot Spring. About 10 minutes drive from the long house, the visitors can experience the natural and original hot spring. Beware of one specific pool where the water is really hot like approximately close to 100 degree celcius. So, you are free to bring your eggs to be boiled there. And bring also the swimming suits and extra clothes, as usual.
