Visited the lodge for accommodation, a tour package, and a bamboo raft workshop. I never cease to admire this magical place every time I return. It’s amazing to witness both the beauty of nature and the kindness of the people who built this wonderful place and community from scratch. I feel grateful that the hosts and local community are eager to share the wisdom passed down by their ancestors and the beauty of their homeland. Plus, they always make sure you never feel hungry.

This homestead is a peaceful, off grid jungle retreat accessible only by boat, located where three rivers meet.
Surrounded by stunning mountains and by the river, sunny, misty mornings, refreshing swims, and waterfall hikes.
At night, the area comes alive with insects. An opportunity to learn about the local community, and their way of life.

A corner of paradise immersed in the jungle, where the concept of relaxation and isolation takes on a whole new meaning. The perfect place to get away from it all and regenerate. The managers, members of the local tribe, are very kind people who will accompany you with passion in many typical activities, making the experience even more authentic and special.

My experience at Ngapuh Lodge was amazing. If you're looking for a unique, immersive experience away from the usual tourist offerings in Borneo, I encourage you to pay this lodge a visit.
The lodge is at an idyllic, quiet setting by a river and trees deep in the forest. Getting there was a meditative experience, I had to hike through a lush forest and across a river to get there. The lodge is built entirely by the Bidayuh village nearby, it is also furnished beautifully and I was very comfortable during my stay. If possible, you should stay during the weekdays as that's when the villagers work on the Farmhouse they're building behind the lodge!
There are many activities you can choose to do here, and I was well taken care of by my hosts Jerome & Charlotte, as well as my Bidayuh guide, Mus. I learnt a lot about Bidayuh culture, living in harmony with the forest, and hiked to a nearby waterfall.
I would highly recommend anyone to visit, or even contribute to the building of their space!

Lovely place very remote in the jungle. Charlotte and Jerome were super kind and helpful. We had their homemade food and it was truly amazing. Will recommend for anybody looking for a peaceful, authentic stay in beautiful surroundings. Their cats are lovely!

We had an amazing time! The lodge is perfectly located in the jungle, where 2 rivers meet. Jerome and Charlotte built 2 beautiful lodges in a peaceful environment. They showed us around, made us tried fruits we did not know and even took us on a night walk in the jungle.
We really appreciated the full board option, which included fresh fish from the river or turkey cooked in a bamboo for example.
Overall we are grateful to have shared these moments and learned more about the Bidayuh culture.
Hopefully we will be back!

Food for my soul. Very grateful to have spent 2 days in this beautiful place. You are embraced by traditional living with added luxury. The pace of life slows, you taste wonderful
Local food most of it from the gardens, you sleep to the sound of cicadas and tropical rain, you swim in the river and walk the jungle trails, you rest and talk.
Monday contributes to the local community. Thank you Lottie and family for such wonderful hospitality.
This is for those who don’t need entertainment but seek authenticity, the opportunity to soak in the jungle and learn more about traditional life.
I feel refreshed and blessed.

If you want to spend a couple of days in the middle of the forest, look no further! Not the easiest of routes to get there but it was definitely worth it in the end. Lottie and Lelem were great hosts😊 a special thank you goes also to Kawa, terima kasih!! 🫶🏼
