I AM THE BORNEO EXPLORER 婆罗洲探险者

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 yea...

This is the Batang Seterap, which is a small tributary of the Batang Lupar.  You can use a boat from here to Lingga Town, which takes about 1 hour of speedboat ride.  This is a very rural place, there is only longhouse available here, there are no power or water supply from the government. And surprisingly there is actually a grocery store which runs by an old Chinese couple, both of them have been staying and running the business for more than 50 years.  The old man said that their children are all married and stayed in the city, will come and visit them every now and then. He and his wife had already get used to life here and will continue to stay here.
