The Gunung Lesong (Lesung) National Park Exploration

Here I am again, the last visit to Gunung Lesong (Lesung) was in the year 2017. Read the previous post here. That year, my team and I manage to found the trailhead and hike all the way to the summit peak. it was a wonderful and memorable trip. 

The trail head had changed, there is a signboard at the trailhead, and in order to enter, we MUST obtain permission from the local there to pay respect to their place. 

So many water rushing down from the mountain, the water is a bit yellow to brown color.

On this trip, a few of our old-time hiking buddies joined in the hike. It is good to be able to see old comrades again. Brings back memories of when we use to hike almost every weekend back then. 

My friend, Gilbert is carrying a big tumbok up to our campsite. It is around 20kg, so far its the biggest tumbok that I had ever seen 😲

The distance from the trailhead to the campsite its around an hour of hike

The prayer camp here had also changed significantly compare to a few years ago where it was still empty. 

Setup my beloved hammock, haven't been using this for so long.

One of the most fun parts of all the camping trip is to swim at the waterfall. Who doesn't love playing in the water right?! 😀✌

I submerge myself in the water. 

We also had a wonderful dinner, on the menu we have roasted duck, sambal, curry canfood, and lunchon meat. 

The next morning, it is time to hike to the summit.

Passed by multiple tiers of the waterfall, cascading all the way down. only this part of the water is crystal clear. The next trip can consider to camp here. 

Entering the boundary of the National Park of Sarawak

Ropes had been fixes at some of the steep parts to help hikers to get up. 

After 1hours and 45 mins, we manage to reach the summit. Very windy up there 😌

And the summit now has a big signboard, with the name of the mountain printed

The tabletop surface and the moss which grows on the mass amount of area on the summit enable a large amount of water to be stored. it is a huge water catchment area. no wonder so many waterfalls.

The guide told us that this is their wishing well, asked me to make our wishing there.

Time to go home

All of us wash ourselves at the creek before returning home, everyone is having a fun time.

See you guys on my next adventure 😁👍
