When visiting Tenom, consider Marais Center. Located about 40 Km from Tenow town, this little village will charm you with its peaceful nature view and warm hospitality of the Murut indigenous people. Backed with mountainous background, wide paddy fields and surrounded by cool river, the fresh crisp air of the village is a tranquil place to be. We highly recommend an overnight stay in their guesthouse to fully enjoy the ‘kampung’ life.
At a minimal cost, spice up your stay by participating in the many activities offered in the neighbourhood. You can choose to cycle around the nourishing paddy field, sign up for trekking or enhance your crafting skills with basket weaving lessons by the community. Other options include rubber tapping, paddy cultivation, lanjung making, fishnet and trap making, and more, keeping you occupied throughout your stay.
Decked in Murut traditional attire, the Marais village community can also perform a special orchestrated Murut traditional dance to give visitors a memorable cultural experience.
With all the exciting activities in store, do not forget to make room to savour their delicious traditional food servings. Cooked with locally sourced ingredients, this will be a perfect opportunity to pick up a recipe or two from the local chef.
Contact Marais Center or book through a licensed tour agent to fit this in your itinerary. Prior booking is required.
