Romping barefoot in Bario pictorial


The Twin Otter De Havilland we took to and from Bario, so long as the weather if fine, all's usually OK. Otherwise, bring extra barf bags! The tripis about 45mins long over some fascinating typical Sarawak landscape. Return tickets are at $185/person.


The muddy road to Bario Asal approximately 5kms from De Plateau where we were staying. We've been told that they wanted to expand this (used to be perfectly fine) road to a 25 feet wide thoroughfare. Gulp!
