Benak Festival


Discover & Experience the Unique Tidal Bore Phenomenon at Batang Lupar, Sri Aman.

The annual Pesta Benak (Tidal Bore Festival) will make a return along the mighty Batang Lupar with two new activities from Oct 18 to 20.

This year, the festival will include a bodybuilding competition (Mr Benak) and a hot air balloon ride.

The Festival is to promote harmony among local community and to introduce Sri Aman town through tourism. Tidal Bore or locally known as Benak accurs everyday with different warelenght and heights. During spring tide, tidal bore with high magnitudes can be observed clearly. The Benak continues its journey another 30km inland, ending near the small village of Engkilili in Sri Aman.
