Long Lama,
a little town next to Sungai Bakei, Sarawak,
Malaysia, which survives mainly on barter trading. As the jungle shrinks,
the people here find it more difficult to pass their days as the tribes
living around that used to trade with the townspeople are finding less
produce to trade with.
For those wanting to stay over at Long Lama before embarking into the
interiors, there is a small but adequate hotel called Telang Usan Hotel
located in a row of shoplots facing the river.
From Long Lama, there are 4WDs that can be hired to take travellers into
the Ulu Baram interiors. But be warned that the roads leading out of Long
Lama are or were logging tracks and can be a rough ride in some places
especially where roads have been washed away by previous flash floods. So
be prepared to sit out an arduous, bone shaking truck ride to get to your
next destination.
The
postcode for Long Lama is 98300 and the telephone dialing code prefix is
+6085.
