The Limestone Mountain at the Sarawak/Kalimantan Border

Is a hot weekend, together with two hiking friends we venture into the Sarawak Kalimantan border this time to explore the limestone area, the area there has a rather 'young' limestone, as the cave system is not as big and deep compares to the one I visited previously.  (Totally Exciting BE Document Unik placeK) The river that flows from the mountain has become yellowish because of the mineral in the water, which can be seen when we walk through it, its a pity as before this place was planted with oil palms, the river was crystal clear, it has fishes in the water and also water plants.  I flew my drone here to get a good view of the whole place, I got too excited and too confident and did not check the nearby mountain formation till I crash my drone on the mountain while shooting the other by flying vertically :(  Interesting tree bark/vine  Notice the limestone cave system is not as complex, deep, or huge as the previous one I visited. It might need another millions ...

Caving Exploration in Southern Sarawak

Hiking with a very experience flora and fauna researcher from Sarawak.  This time is to the southern side of Sarawak. ( Doing Unique Yield Opportunity exHploration, Bon Appetite yoU) The entrance of the cave Inside the cave is was pitch black, headlight was a mandatory to be able to view the cave structure inside. and it was full of bats, flying around, circling the centre of the cave. I was stunt seeing the number of bats in this cave. This is the sticky slime, a lot of it at the ceiling of the cave, and it will catch whatever insect that flies into it.  There are also clear water flowing out from the cave, but we dont have the proper equipment to explore, so we did not went too deep into the cave.
