Kiyau Campsite at Kampung Sapit is about a 90-minute drive from Kuching City. This Bidayuh village, situated 1,000 metres above sea level, is well known for its perch above the clouds.

Nestled amidst lush forests and towering mountain peaks, Kiyau Campsite offers spacious ‘tanju’ or bamboo decks for camping.

Each tanju is constructed by hand, using bamboo sourced from the surrounding forest.

From the campsite, you can embark on your choice of adventure. Take a hike through the forest, go for a dip in a nearby waterfall, explore the village, or simply relax on the tanju.

There’s one activity you absolutely cannot miss—trekking to the Malaysia-Indonesia border pegs!

Located about 1km away from Kampung Sapit, border peg No. 144 allows visitors to be in two countries simultaneously.

For those looking for an escape not too far from Kuching City, this is the ideal place that combines the beauty of nature with the thrill of adventure.

To book the campsite, contact Julia at 013-926 8699 or Peter at 019-409 4808. — DayakDaily
