I AM THE BORNEO EXPLORER 婆罗洲探险者

Merarap Hot Spring one of a hidden gem in nortern Sarawak Borneo. Its about 70km away from Lawas town, and only accessible by a 4WD truck. Here are the 5 things you can do when you visit the Merarap Hot Spring :) 1. Mandi in the hotspring Hotspring water is piped from a nearby mountain source and dip pools with different water temperature ensure a complete spa experience. Private baths are also available, so there is no way you gonna miss out this one!!! The one behind me consist of cold and hot spring water, so its just nice to dip in the pool..... erm..just beware of leeches :P 2. The Great Trusan River!!! The Trusan River flows into Brunei Bay, and sits in between the Temburong and Lawas rivers. It's just next to the hotspring lodge. Be aware when you swim here, cause the current are quite strong sometime... but overall its a good place for swim with its cold stream water. 3. Trace the Sources The pipe connects the water source from the ridge ...

Located on the Damai Peninsula, 35km north of the Kuching city. Mount Santubong is surround by hotel resorts, local fishing villages, schools, and the Sarawak Cultural Village. The striking peak is visible from Kuching on most days. She rise steeply at 810m from sea level, on the bottom of the mountain, numerous streams can be seen, its been stated as a National Park (I wrote this article on August 2016) but I do not see this as a potential sanctuary for wildlife. The ladder climb which near the summit are poorly maintain, which I foresee it will be extra difficult to summit if this continue. Most of the rest stop indication board had been torn down, one positive sign is there are no litter on the route to summit. On top of the summit, there is a rest hut. The view as of today (Aug 2016) are mostly covered by trees branches, after the trees grow taller, it will be even more difficult to enjoy the summit view.

The Singai Mount is about 518m Above Sea Level. Singai Mountain is the holy sacred mountain for the Bidayuh people (one of the local ethnic group in Sarawak). They build a church on this mountain, devotes will come here and do their regular praying. It was a raining night that day, it was the first time my team and I did the night climb, my GPS record is we start climb at 09.26pm and reach the summit at 11.15pm (Total distance of 2.01km, 1.35hours to reach summit) We setup our hammock, and rest at about 2am after our late meal. The next day we woke up at 6.30am, and we are very fortunate that we can witness the sea clouds on the base of the mountain. Climbed Mount Singai for so many time, but this is the first time we witness this wonder of nature. From Far Right, its the Serapi Mount with its communicator towel on top of the summit Information of the Trail Total distance : 2.01 km (1.3 mi) Total time : 1:33:41 Max elevation : 51...

Our guide wake up early to cook breakfast for us 5.15am. Whole night struggle to keep myself warm, very tough night. Daybreak arrives at 6.05am that morning, and I can’t wait to get up. Went to the kitchen, our trusted guide had already prepared our breakfast. I ask for a cup of hot boiling water, and make myself a cup of hot milk as a starter, and then followed by hot chicken porridge, and a pack of instant noodles. All these foods slowly keep my body warm, and I think I’m ready for my ascent to the summit now. Morning view on top of a small ridge at church camp 6.50am. While waiting for some of my friends for breakfast, I walked into one of the small ridge on the west site of our shelter house. Enjoyed bird's eye view of this village, the sun rises in the east, but is covered by thick white clouds, and the mountain range was covered by a fog of clouds. It’s like the mountain range wearing a wedding veil, breathtaking views. Muddy Trail 7.44am. It’s ti...

Entering Day 2 of my exploration trip to Mount Murud. Woke Up at 5.30am, had a very nice sleep last night. I lay on my bed again, very hesitate to wakeup, all of a sudden I listen “ho-ho-ho-ho-ho” wait a minute, that’s the sound of the horse. I peek at the windows, and look down. A few horses was just outside the Inn eating grass. How on earth they manage to get horses here, the road is very bad?!!! Bakelalan Inn I stayed in the same room with Sui Chin, the Inn here have more than 6 rooms, with each room 2 person. The temperature is about 23⁰C now, good thing they provide blanket. I felt panic all of a sudden, the place that we will stay tonight is about 2000m ASL, its going to be cooler than now. I didn’t bring any sleeping bag or warm jacket.  Sui Chin told me not to worry because he have a spare jacket, so he lend his spare jacket to me. We head down for breakfast, the lady owner cooked fried beehun, fried rice, and soup. I ordered a hot milo, I told myself I ...
