Location : Paku Undop Longhouse, Ulu Undop, Sri Aman Division, Sarawak, Malaysia.

Have been postponing this trip for many years. We decided that this year we had to do Gawai the Iban style for a change. The actual drive to Ulu Undop took 4 hours minus all the stops for refreshments or photo shooting. The 3D2N trip took us to 4 longhouses, namely Paku Undop, Sebujok, Sebangkoi and the most interesting was Radau which has a nice waterfall closeby. Siti our host and her brother, with their good connection, personally brought us to all these places.
