Bario

A selection of pictures of Bario, the major settlement in the Kelabit highlands of central Borneo. Bario can only be reached by plane, as there are no roads leading there and no river nearby. Lying 1000m above sea level Bario enjoys a fresh climate and attracts tourists who come here to do treks and enjoy the unspoilt environment.
Bario is a major rice production centre, and the valley is literally filled with rice fields. The Bario rice is of excellent quality.
