Berumput Sebako Camping Trip with Wilson Chin and Friends at Borneo Sarawak

Initially we plan to conquer the Mount Rumput (as show on the map above) at 1560 m, however due to some unexpect circumstances we have to descent on the 2nd day. Mount Rumput is located at the Sematan/Lundu area on the Sarawak and Kalimantan border. After bring told by the local village people now I know that there are actually 3 mountain at the Sebako area which are: 1. The highest mount in western Sarawak - Mount Kanyi 2. The 2nd highest mount in western Sarawak - Mount Berumput 3. The 3rd highest mount in western Sarawak - Mount Pueh The three of these mount are sitting side by side, and if to go all three we maybe need to spend maybe one week in the jungle of the Sebako area.

Damn was build by the Sarawak Energy to generate hydro electric

The water from the mountain are crystal clear, its not adviceable, but some of my friends just drink it directly. There maybe contain certain bacteria which may harm our body, so possible please boil the water before consume them, or use certain filter.

A lot of huge tree which are 5 to 6 stories high.

A tiny mantis

A huge centipede was spotted by my friend, and kid you not this fella is huge...

How long does it take for the roots to wrap around the stone?

Leeches are everywhere in this jungle, and I've been bitten for more than 10 times. 

When we reach an elevation of 825 meter, we stop and setup camp. We had been walking for almost 6 hours and 9.2 KM, some of my friends are first timer joining us on this hike, can tell that they are tired.

The 2nd day we descent to the waterfall area, this is the Sebako waterfall I visited this place previously (click to read)

This waterfall have multiple tires, and the place that my team and I camp was at the upper tire where it is tough to reach.

This is my breakfast and lunch, i'm so hungry...

Lambir Hills National Park, Latak Waterfall Exploration with Wilson Chin at Miri, Borneo

This is the Lambir Hills National Park, I visited the place 2 years ago (click to read), and last trip I did not went to any of the waterfall, but just to the summit. And this trip is a bit relax, as I take my time to explore around, and chilling at the famous Latak Waterfall.


Its just an easy 20 minutes trek from the Park HQ, when my brother and I reached the waterfall, we saw the tall waterfall with little amount of water flowing down. I guess this might be due to the dry season.

Golden Beach, Telaga Air Village with Wilson Chin

This is the Telaga Air, the Sibu river flows into the South China Sea. It was a hot Saturday, and I'm here to get the contact details on how to get to the Sampadi Island.

This is the Golden Beach, its situated It is located approximately 10 minutes drive away from the Telaga Air fishermen village, and about 35 minutes away drive from Kuching City

The Satang Island can be view from the beach, I went to the Satang island before. Always plan to go back there agian, maybe a camping trip to the island.

A nice place for picnic, or camping.

The water mix with some mud, not very clean. A construction company plans to develop this place, to build villas here and sell to the public. It will be good to be able to own a house near the beach, just that this place is too far away from Kuching city. 

Tanjung Datu, Borneo Sarawak. Post 2 of 2

Watch my Tanjung Datu Exploration Trip documentary:

Day two at Tanjung Datu 

Tanjung Datu may be the smallest of Sarawak’s National Parks, at just under 14 sq km, but it is also one of the most beautiful.

Along the coast line, there are a few sea turtle trails, they dug holes to lay their eggs. The park are running the Turtle Project all year long, and the rangers will collect the egg, record it down, and put in here to make sure that the eggs are safe. After the hatching are born, they will release it back to the sea.

The Kuching Adventure Team, on day two we are going to the Pasir Antu Laut Trail a 2.7KM passes parallel to the beach and through foreshore vegetation, to Tanjung Antu Laut, a picturesque beach where a clear freshwater streams flow around big polished granite boulders into the ocean. The trail then turns inland, and back through mixed dipterocarp forest, crossing several small creeks and ending back at park HQ.

After I reached the beach, was impress on how clean the water is here. Its cleaner than the one we saw at the park HQ.

The sea water are too attractive, and I just take off my shoes and deep my foot in the water.

4 baby sharks swim around the coast, so I'm trying my luck to take their picture, but can't get a good one. If I bring my polarize filter lens I will be able to take clear shoot of the baby shark.

This is the park HQ in the Talang Besar island, as this is a restricted area specially for authorize person only. This island is specially for sea turtle to go lay eggs.

Sea turtle swiming slowly to the Talang Talang Besar Island to lay egg, good luck turtle, wishing you all the best!!!

The Talang Talang Besar Island, this is a national park. But its a restricted area, and its mainly for sea turtle to come here to lay eggs. What the forestry did is good, this can prevent people to come and steal the eggs, and endanger the sea turtle population.

This is the Talang Talang Kecil island, just opposite the Talang Besar island. I heard its also a restricted area, and reserve for sea turtle to lay their eggs.
