Join us on an enthralling expedition to Bujang Valley, where you will unravel the mysteries of a lost civilization. Recognized as one of Southeast Asia’s most significant archaeological discoveries, this ancient settlement predates iconic landmarks such as Angkor Wat and Borobudur by nearly a thousand years. Experience history coming to life as we uncover the secrets of this remarkable site.
The journey begins with a scenic boat ride along Sungai Merbok, winding through tranquil rivers bordered by lush mangrove forests. Along the way, keep an eye out for fascinating wildlife including Monitor Lizards, Little Herons, Brahminy Kites, Sea Eagles, and Kingfishers. The route leads to the enchanting Sungai Batu area, nestled at the foothills of Mount Jerai—once rich in valuable minerals such as magnetite, haematite, and geotite.
Delve into the region’s deep-rooted history, documented as early as the Cangkam Period (200 BCE to 200 CE) in ancient Indian records. Explore key archaeological sites and visit the Archaeology Museum, which houses artifacts uncovered from extensive excavations across the valley.
Discover the remnants of a once-thriving Hindu-Buddhist civilization that flourished in the valley between the 1st and 14th centuries. To date, 97 archaeological sites have been identified, including a sunken ship near the riverside jetty. This tour is available with a minimum of 7 days’ advance notice, subject to guide availability.
