Bako National Park, Kuching

On the 2nd day after our breakfast, we proceed to Bako National Park for some good jungle trekking fun. To our expectation, the park is indeed a treasure chest of fauna and flora, very good experience for us city folks!

Upon reaching Bako Village which took us approximately 40 mins from Kuching, we got a longboat (operated by villagers there) chartered at the terminal to continue our journey with a 25 mins boat ride to National Park.

A huge number of jungle trekking trails here. Got ourselves a local guide for a sum, seeing none of us is experienced enough to trek without any leads.


Our boat ride journey to the Park. Saw lotsa fishing nets around the village.


With our legendary inspirational guide Riman, a nice talkative chap.


Greeted by rocky head-cliffs, due to constant erosion and sandy beach at the coastline. Our guide then told us a myth story of a cow (?) head here.

Adventurers can choose to rent and stay at the chalets here.


Wooden planks makes walking through the jungle easy, but there's more.


Stopped by for a group photo before we head further.
L to R: Rourou, Casa, Hois, Frag, Feebz.


The mangrove forest, home to long-tailed Macaques and silver-leaf monkeys, hermit crabs along with other animals. We even spotted the very popular and bizzare long-nosed Proboscis monkeys!


Tough trails we faced on the way, going up and down.


Tree roots comin out on a steep area. Tip: Use it well to balance yourself.


You have to put your physical fitness to test as it lead you to up rugged hilltop.


Wooden planks built on the hilltop, we're up there!


On our way down, our guide brought us on a more challenging trail leading to the mangrove area via this small cave opening.

This National Park is truly an ideal place for nature lovers and adventurers. Kindly be noted that it's better to book a return boat journey immediately after you arrive here. And the walks are not shaded and exposed to sun, so come prepared for hot and humid weather.

Will definitely visit this again!
