Mukah
The cultural heartland of the indigenous Melanau people, famed for pristine coastal heritage, sago delicacies, and Pesta Kaul.
Mukah is a peaceful coastal town that serves as the cultural sanctuary of the Melanau, one of Sarawak’s earliest indigenous seafaring groups. Situated facing the South China Sea, Mukah invites travelers into a unique world of traditional tall wooden houses, tranquil peat riverways, and authentic craft workshops.
Visitors can experience authentic Melanau hospitality at the Lamin Dana Cultural Lodge, explore traditional sago flour processing in Kampung Tellian, taste fresh Umai (marinated raw fish with lime and chilies), and witness the thrilling Pesta Kaul annual beach festival featuring the giant Tibau cultural swing.
