“It’s all Kelabit food. A new cuisine to me and have no idea what to expect. I believe we can’t get Kelabit cuisine outside of the highlands.”
This is a category collection of blogs by travellers from all round the world, and their experiences in Bario and the Kelabit Highland.
If you’ve been to Bario, and if you have a blog about it, do let us know.
