Rejoicing in Pesta Kaul

Gold Arawana on his trip to the biggest celebration of Melanau tribe.....

Celebrated on every April, this festival originally is a spiritual celebration, now turn to a modern celebration but still maintain its uniqueness and its valuable cultural heritage....

The replica of "Tibow" at Kaul Dana Beach, the site for the celebration.



Tibow... The traditional game of Melanau... A must try activity for the first time visitor..

A young family walk passed the giant photo of earlier celebration of Pesta Kaul. By the influence of Christianity and Muslim, it is no more celebrate in original manner but still show the uniqueness of the Melanau cultures.




It is not only celebrates by one community, Iban (Through SDNU Mukah), Bidayuh (Through DBNA Mukah) and Chinese also taking part on this biggest celebration for Mukah Division.
