Chasing Heights: The Adventure of Gunung Ngeli, Simunjan

Image
Embarking on a quest for panoramic views, my brother and I set out on a road trip from Kuching to the quaint town of Simumjan. Our destination? The modest yet promising summit of Gunung Ngeli, stands at 316 meters above sea level. The journey began at the foot of the mountain, where a well-maintained trail awaited. The slow incline allowed us to immerse ourselves in the natural beauty surrounding us, but not without the constant companionship of buzzing mosquitoes. Undeterred, we pressed forward, fueled by the anticipation of the breathtaking scenery awaiting us at the summit. After a steady hike, we reached the viewpoint rest stop, a welcome oasis equipped with toilets, a barbecue area, and a small rest hut. It was the perfect spot to take a break, catch our breath, and soak in the surroundings. Little did we know, the true peak lay beyond this restful haven. Refueled and recharged, we continued our ascent along the mountain ridge, where the trail faded into the wilderness. Relying on

Jungle Jamboree: Durian Season Adventure to Waterfall

Image
In the heart of Kampung Kiding, Kuching, Sarawak, lies a breathtaking waterfall that has become a sanctuary for nature lovers. I embarked on a few unforgettable journeys to this enchanting destination, and my last visit was during the challenging times of the Covid-19 lockdown in 2020 when travel was limited to within Sarawak. As we set out on the muddy trail leading to the waterfall, surrounded by the lush greenery of the Bidayuh kampung, the air was filled with the sweet aroma of durians. It was the durian season, and the trees were adorned with the prized fruits, some still clinging to the branches while others had fallen to the ground. The trail, marked by bamboo crossings of various sizes, hinted at the adventure that awaited us. The cloudy sky overhead told tales of the rain that had poured the day before, transforming the path into a muddy challenge. Despite the slippery conditions, our excitement propelled us forward. Having visited Kampung Kiding before, I eagerly shared my ex

Jungle Odyssey: Expedition to Eastern Sarawak's Enigmatic Emerald Paradise

I went on a big adventure in a place near the Eastern side of Sarawak. We had a team of three friends who really liked hiking and my brothers who love to explore. We didn't know what we'd find there. First, we walked through a big forest with lots of trees and plants. It was so green and pretty. It was my first time there, and I was excited. Then, we had to jump from big rocks in a stream, like a puzzle. The water was clear and cool, and it felt like we were on a treasure hunt. After that, we went down a hill to a small stream. It was peaceful, with tall trees and rocks making it look beautiful. My brothers even jumped into a waterfall and made us laugh. In Eastern Sarawak, we learned that the real treasure is the amazing nature, not gold or jewels. Our trip taught us that working together is important, being ready is key, and exploring is fun. When you go on adventures, you can learn, have fun, and get inspired. You can see our adventure on my social media. Follow me on Instag
