5D4N – Pinnacles & Headhunter’s Trails

Introduction : The headhunter’s trail is a great way of entering or leaving Gunung Mulu Natio nal Park. This trek offers an excellent introduction to the rivers and the rainforest of Mulu and the added attraction is the longhouse visit. The trail itself follows the route taken by Kayan headhunting parties who paddlied up the Melinau River to the Melinau Gorge. Then they dragged their longboats through the forest for 4km until they reached the Tarikan River, where they launched headhunting raid against the people of the Limbang area.
