Long Akah (also known as Long Aka) is a settlement in interior of the Marudi division of Sarawak, Malaysia,[1][2] on the upper reaches of the Baram river. It lies approximately 531 kilometres (330 mi) east-north-east of the state capital Kuching.


The village is an old Chinese trading post,[3] about ten minutes downstream by boat from Long San.[4]


It is the site of an old Fort built in 1929 as an administrative centre in Charles Vyner Brooke’s era.[5] The structural timber in the two-storey fort is the very hard Ironwood (local name Kayu Balian) and it has undergone some refurbishment, including replacing the timber roof tiles with zinc roofing.[4]
