The Coolest Valley in Mount Santubong

One of the best place to visit in Santubong without a doubt will be the hidden valley. I visited this place before here, and always wanted to come back again. Notice the trail had change a lot geographically, it seems that the rocks are getting closer with each others, and there are less huge rocks along the trail.

Image capture by my drone, when it reach at about 200 meter of height, it suddenly disconnected 😟 I tried to press on a few button on the remote in hope to regain the connection but fail. 

And after a few second, the auto return home was activated, and while it descent to a certain height, i regain the connection again, and quickly land the drone manually. It was a close call ~~~

Santubong Embang Waterfall (Eastern Side) and Santubong Summit 3 Exploration

This trip is to explore the east side of the Santubong peninsular, and continue with a steep hike up to Santubong summit no.3 at 815m ASL. The total trip took me about 15 hours to complete, and this is the first time I hike for so long in one day.
Start our journey at the Jalan Sultan Tengah, 400m away from the Cove 55 hotel. We start at 6am sharp. 
A lot of steam crossing, I hike to this place before while on my way to Nanga Shanti
Crystal clear stream flows all the way from Santubong, and our mission today is to explore to the source of this stream. 
Unknown fruits on the bank. 
The Santubong Eastern Waterfall, estimate about 40 meter drop. One of the highest waterfall in Kuching area. Reach this waterfall at 10.40am
Continue on with our jorney to Santubong Summit No.3 
Almost reach the source of the waterfall, from this point onwards the water are getting less and less. 
Breathtaking view on the edge of the cliff

THE JOURNEY TO THE SUMMIT
攻顶的路上
When we reach the Kujang Sain village, we parked our car there. There is a school at the entrance, so its very safe to park our car there. 
来到这个村落叫 KUJAN SAIN。这村落的进口就是学校,我们的车子就停放在这里,非常安全。

We start our journey by crossing multiple streams. 
一开始我们就要走过小溪流,之后还有数个溪流。
Then follow by paper farm
走过胡椒园
Since its the raining season now, so the trail are mostly muddy trail.
现在是雨季,地上都是泥巴。好难走,路也是好滑。我自己都摔到。
We also get to enjoy beautiful paddy field along our way.
走过了稻田
Our guide owns a pices of land, and he planted durian trees. Its the durian season now, and we get to eat durian along the way.
现在也是榴莲季节,我们的向导自己种植了榴莲。请我们吃榴莲。这样的徒步真好,有免费的榴莲吃,吃了后有可以补充精力。
Look at the delicious durian on the tree. 
满树都是榴莲,看了垂涎三尺。
Part of our journey is hike to the bamboo forest
走过竹林
A snail shell which is as big as my palm
像我的手掌般大的蜗牛壳
This tree are so huge, I estimate will need about 5 - 6 adults holding hands to circle the tree trunk.
一颗百年大树。至少要五,六人才能围一圈这颗大树。
The higher we go, the steeper it gets. Need a lot of strength to slowly hike up
越高越钭,我就越走越吃力。脚软了~
Almost reach the summit after 3 hours of hike
大概三个小时后,终于要到山顶了
This is the highest point of Gunung Rawan, there is a border stone on the highest point. No view on the summit, however there is a viewpoint nearby. But unfortunately all cover by fog. 
这就是山顶,可惜没有景色好看。都被大树围绕着。不远处有个望角,但是风景被雾遮盖了。非常可惜。
