It was an amazing and rewarding experience getting to know the highlands with Reddish.
Reddish is the welcoming, softly - spoken host of Bariew Backpacker's Lodge in Bario. He encourages guests to make themselves totally at home - in his home. He leaves you to chill out, but if asked, will provide information about the Highland lifestyle and the Kelabit culture and history, as he is a decendant of these people.
Typical of his generous manner, Reddish conscientiously tailor - made a trek for us. After we explained our interest in local cuisine, he came up with a unique means of achieving a ' food tour ' through the remote parts of the highlands, via treking, longboats and 4WD. After 4 days of Reddish guiding us through the jungle and small villages, we discovered his fun - loving, larrikin nature that wasn't apparent initially. He is an extremely skilled guide and aims to provide an amazing experience, while being sensitive to individual needs.
