Kuching Borneo Highland is located about 50km from Kuching city. Here the jungle and river trekking was an amazing experience.
The waterfalls were beautiful, and the hike was challenging but worth it. I would highly recommend this activity to anyone visiting Kuching.
But just be careful of the leeches, they hurt a little when they bite you, but not too much - just don't let them on your skin for too long.
I was with a couple of hiking friends, and I am looking forward to trekking the tropical rainforest in search of waterfalls and exotic flora and fauna.
Both sides of the river are covered in the jungle canopy and each side has a separate trail both paths reunite at certain points.
There are different trails that one can take, we took one which lead higher up on the bank so that at some points we could hop on fallen logs or hang on low branches while crossing over rapids that are too fast to be crossed by foot.
My friend is a very good explorer with lots of experience hiking, he is also a certified jungle ranger. he knows where to find the hidden waterfalls as we hike higher and deeper into the jungles,
A few hours later we found a small waterfall and had our lunch there before continuing our journey downstream, After lunch, we start trekking down to visit one of the waterfalls, and then we found a bigger hidden waterfall as we hike higher and deeper. I also took a refreshing dip in the waterfall during my hike.
This is a great adventure in Borneo Highland.
