Tucked away in Bukit Udal’s tranquil landscape, Alai Gayoh welcomes visitors with stories, songs, and flavors of the Dusun people. From foraging and traditional cooking to learning ancient customs, every experience reveals a legacy preserved with heart.
The Alai Gayoh, which means large house in Dusun, is a traditional wooden dwelling with much history. It has been turned into a blissful abode built on top of a calm lagoon overseeing much of Bukit Udal’s scenic greeneries.
If you are going to visit here, make sure to make an appointment beforehand with Eyad Samhan at +673 864 0437. Travellers are welcomed with delightful Dusun cuisine and a treasure trove of ethnic culture. You’ll find yourself foraging from the nearby lands, catching breathtaking views and sceneries, and immersing yourself in the decades-old worth of customs, practices and music of the Dusun people.
For those without access to a private car, we recommend using Dart (think of it as Brunei’s Uber or Grab) which is the most convenient option for traveling in Brunei. While it provides hassle-free booking and convenience, keep in mind that pricing may vary.
