The road to Pakan... gravel and tar road... You need to drive around 20-40 km/h for your first time visit... then, its up to you as long as you know the road condition...
Here's some pics...
On your way towards Bintangor/Sibu/Bintulu/Miri/Sabah/Philiphine you will see this signboard Pakan... turn right to the junction
30 -60 minutes later (depends on how fast u drive) you'll see another signboard... turn right.
The first longhouses area is Berasuk and on your left after the bridge is little piggy's cage.
Patriotic longhouse people in Enturong. Me and lil sis stop for a while to take some pics here... very interesting. They hang the national and state flags at every house including the main enterance...
On your left before the junction to Lempa Antu is one big tapang tree... There's rumours telling that this tree is haunted...believe it or not...
Tips : sing out loud when u pass this area and dont look at your front mirror.
Finally... after 30-40 minutes you'll reach the Manding River....
This shed generally use for the long house people in Manding to process the latex... one of the main income here...
My dad's second cousin longhouse.... more than 3o families live here.
Well.. that's all for now... I'll bring you to another places next time... bye...
