Family Adventure: Camping Trip at Nanga Tiga Atas, Batang Ai, Sarawak

I went for a camping trip with friends at Nanga Tiga Atas, Batang Ai, Sarawak. This round I bring my boy Gareth with me. And I also get to meetup with my old comrade again, Ah Loong and Gilbert who we always go for hiking adventures back in the old days.  With the sun beaming down on us in the wide-open space, we're all set to soak up plenty of golden rays. My boy can't wait to dive into the cool, inviting waters, but as for me? I'm all about finding that perfect spot under the shade, kicking back with an ice-cold beer in hand, and just letting the day drift by. It's pure bliss at Nanga Tiga The breeze was relentless, turning the simple task of setting up my flysheet into a bit of a challenge.

Adventure in the Wild: Camping, Caves, and Culinary Delights in Klingkang Ran, Borneo

I went to Sri Aman area to explore a waterfall inside a cave, we start off our hike from an abandon farm. Two of my friends and my brother are carrying backpacks, hiking in front. The trail is lined with tall grasses, ferns, and various types of trees and shrubs.

It was the mouth of a cave, shrouded in shadows and mystery. Inside, we could hear the distant echo of water, calling us forward. With each step, the sound grew louder, more compelling... Not long after, we were greeted by a breathtaking sight—a waterf...

Conquering the Climb, Not the Plateau: A Day at Jamo Falls

11th April, 6.02pm. My friend and I departed from Kuching at 4am and reached Dapoi, Ulu Tinjau Baram after driving for more than 13 hours.  11th April, 6.17pm. We can see Jamo waterfall in front of us. We plan to hike up to Jamo waterfall and hike along the plateau to reach the other end to explore that area. 11th April, 8.07pm. To our surprise, a homestay is just near the waterfall, run by a Chinese named Mr. Wong from Miri. He offers us to stay at the homestay. Our initial plan was to go camping.  12th April, 2.59am. I woke up to go to the bathroom, and notice the night sky, and the Milky Way, could be seen by naked eyes. 12th April, 3.04am. The temperature also drops to around 21 degrees Celsius. A good temperature to sleep, I just snug into my sleeping bag and go to sleep again in at hammock.  12th April. 4.14am. I can't fall back to sleep again.
