The nearby village of Long Banga is about four hour’ walk away,[3] and has an airport and a clinic that serves the surrounding villages including Long Peluan.[4] A logging road now links Long Peluan with Long Banga, Merawa Camp, and other villages downstream.[5]
The village is on the outer limits of Kelabit territory and the people are predominantly Kelabits, though some members of the related Sa'ban tribe also live in Long Peluan.[6]
