Long Julan is a Kenyah longhouse in the interior of the Miri division of Sarawak, Malaysia.[1][2] It lies approximately 524.6 kilometres (326 mi) east-north-east of the state capital Kuching.
The people belong to the Lepoh Abong ethnic group within the Kenyah tribe.[3]
Long Julan is located in the upper reaches of the Baram River at its confluence with Sungai Julan, a tributary which flows down from the Usun Apau National Park.[4]
If the Baram Dam hydroelectric project goes ahead, Long Julan will be one of the villages affected by the flooding of 389,000 hectares of jungle.[5]
