Around the Bidayu kampung Sadir several interesting waterfalls can be found. One of them, Skedu Fall, can be reached easily from the kampung on a cemented path. For the other two, Ban Kukuot and Mabi, some trekking is needed. As there are many trails used by the farmers to reach their padi fields, it is a good idea to arrange for a guide in the kampung.
See the description of the Skedu Fall for directions how to reach Kg Sadir. This trip can be done as a day trip from Kuching, but it is also possible to stay overnight in the kampung.

Bamboo bridges are used to cross the streams

On the way to the Ban Buan Kukuot Fall, near a bridge, a small detour leads to the Mabi Fall. It is a small stream, with an attractive vertical fall

The trek continues, following well-maintained trails. Nice cultivated landscape. The Ban Buan Kukuot Fall is a powerful one, visible from far away. The trail crosses some more farmland and ends at the pool of the fall

From far away, we can see the fall already

We are almost there

The Ban Buan Kukuot Fall

This is a very tall fall. It consists of at least two tiers. We found no way to reach the upper tier and the top of the fall. The large pool invites for a refreshing bath and a picnic. Back to the kampung takes about one hour.

The two figures in the foreground make clear how tall the fall is.
