Batu Siman and Batu Tujuh | Ulu Baram Exploraton | Post 5 of 5

Batu Siman (3 peaks) This is called the Batu Siman, its has this tree peaks right next to each others View of Batu Siman after the rain Beside took photos with Batu Siman, I notice the intresting road sign with distance to each village on it, so I took a photo with it. With the locals staring at me, I think the locals there are like, what is this city boy doing, taking picture with the boring signboard which we look at most of the time, so wired. Batu Tujuh (7 peaks) Visited this place by traveling for 61km (2 hours) from Long Selaan with a 4WD, a very beautiful place with the 7 peaks on the mountain, knows as Batu Tujuh (7 sisters summit peak). Many mountain range nearby, and this out stand out the most. I would love to be able to climb these peak in future if possible. Pity that day during my visit it rain heavily. If not I would have taken good footage with my drone. The side view of the Batu Tujuh R-L: 1 (hiding on the far right), 2,

Long Selaan River Trekking | Ulu Baram Exploration | Post 4 of 5

Image
Trail Details: Distance: 3.1km Moving Time: 4 hours On day 4 of my Ulu Baram exploration trip, that morning we trek along the Selaan river, one big loop. It consist of my, Ian, and Wee Ming, the 3 of us. Not sure what will we encounter, on the river bank, I hope we can find a suitable place for picnic and a swim. Nah.... I'm just kidding. As the water on the Selaan river are yellowish, so I think maybe its not a good idea to swim inside. The vegetation consist of mixed dipterocarp forest, there are spike plant here and there, which I hate the most. The elevation its around 300 above sea level, but the elevation we gain maximum its only 64 meter. The ridge along the river bank are mostly steep edge all the way down the river. I saw rotten durian, how good it will be if now its the durian season, then we can have free durian while trekking. Very peaceful along the river bank, every now and then I can listen/see small motor boat cursing by. Theref

Today I'm going to explore the Long Keluan area, its basically had a few big basin, and one of the basin has this triple mega direct drop waterfall. I'm very eager to go and see it with my own eyes.  We start our journey at about 7.15am, from the Segah Selaan Homestay to Long Selaan its around 50km, will take us about 2 hours of 4WD ride. The Long San bridge, and Baram river  Reach the junction of Long Keluan  Some part of the road is extremely bad, we are very fortunate to have a skillful 4WD driver to drive us to our destination safe.  The very peaceful village of Long Keluan, this place its fortunate to have electric supply Its a rural electric supply project run by the Kementerian Pembangunan Luar Bandar (Ministry of Rural Development) and colaborate with Sarawak Energy. Another interesting thing its this place, its a place where the village people use to forge parang (knife). To respect the local community, we hired a local guide from
