I visited the Borneo Cultural Village in Sabah, and it was such an eye-opening experience! Located about a 50-minute drive from Kota Kinabalu, this place truly immerses you in the rich cultures of Borneo’s indigenous groups.
I got to explore seven traditional houses, each representing a different ethnic group—like the Chinese House, Brunei House, Murut House, and more. It was fascinating to see how each was uniquely built and learn about their daily lives.
What I loved most were the interactive activities! I joined traditional dance performances, tried my hand at blowpipe shooting, watched how they start fires using bamboo, and even took part in some traditional games. The hands-on experiences like henna tattooing and weaving were a nice bonus too.
Food-wise, I got to taste some amazing local dishes like roti canai, curry chicken, and even tried some fermented rice wine called tapai. It was delicious and really added to the cultural immersion.
The village is best visited in the morning around 10 am, and I made sure to wear comfy clothes and bring sunscreen, a hat, and plenty of water. It’s also great to take a guided tour that includes hotel pick-up, which made the trip super easy.
Overall, Borneo Cultural Village was a highlight of my trip—whether you’re into culture, history, or just looking for a unique experience, I highly recommend it! #KuchingAdventures
