Dry Waterfall off trail Hike on the Santubong Mount

During the lockdown period, there are not many places we can go hiking. Fortunately, my friend knows some guy who owns a piece of private land and is kind enough to let us camp there.  I am followed my hiking friend Ian Vong on a trip with which he is very familiar, at the Santubong mountain. We camped at the base of the mountain for one night. This is my 2nd time to visit this place, the first hike you can read it here . We hike from the base to the summit.  Photo by Ian Notice that there are some silver looking material in between the rocks Photo by Ian There are so many mosquitoes during dusk, like a fighter jet. Even I applied insect repellent, those annoying bug still keeps coming 🤔 Watch the Exploration Video

Camping and Hiking Trip to the Tip of Borneo | Tanjung Datu National Park

Tanjung Datu is my favorite National Park in Sarawak, its smallest at the same time is the most beautiful for me. and I manage to share this with my wife and children to let them experience what is it feels like to camping and hiking at Tanjung Datu NP. Board our boat at Telok Menalo,  my two children are already exited when they see the beach, the sand, and the water. They like to play in the water, keep on asking if they can go swimming  😅 From Telok Menalo, it only takes less than 30 mins to reach Tanjung Datu NP.  So my job is to set up a tent for my wife and children.

This is the Pasir Ant

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 i
