Sarawak's Bario has more to offer than just rice

When someone mentions “Bario”, we would probably immediately think of the small grains of rice that Sarawak is famous for. But there is so much more to Bario than that.

You can find Bario within the Kelabit Highlands, which is about 1,000m above sea level. The mountain range is located in both the Miri and Limbang Divisions, so it is a great place for hikers and mountaineers to explore.
