Day Two
Morning Call by our friendy Gibbon started at 5.30 am. By 6 am( more than 10 group) the intensity getting stronger. Now all birds, even the loud Hornbills are joining the morning chorus of Rainforest. Sunrise was magical with Gibbon calling, birds chriping and scenery of misty rainforest canopy slowly opening up.
After simple breakfast of Bread with hot coffee, we pack up and depart camp at 7.15am. The first 20 minutes trek was excellent with many huge tree, cool, gibbon calling, hornbill shout here and there. Later journey going downhill, here is where my kneel start to hurt. It was steep down down down hill for more than 45 minutes. we stop occasionally and enjoy the sound of the forest. Then route up & down until we reach a ridge called Iban Long house peak ( story goes, once upon a time it was a Iban Longhouse, because they make some mistake, the whole house and the occupant become rock. We rest on top of the ridge for more than 30 minutes. It was a peacefull place, cooling with occasional sound of Gibbon calling. Finally we reach a river bank and start River Trekking like day one.The river scenery will paradise, gibbon calling, hornbill flying up and down and between trees, fish jumping out of water and birds chirping. at this moment i really forget of all the pain in my kneel during descenting those steep hill. I called this Paradise river route point.
fromhere continue down and uphill we reached another high point called Bukit Batu ( 500 ft). at the peak is a huge rock balancing on a norrow ridge, as if the huge rock can roll down any time. From now onward my kneel pain become more and more painful, every step is like needle poking into my kneel. Then at last we reached Temburong river at 12 noon after 5 hr of fast trekking ( normally today trip itself is 2 days 1 night).
We prepare lunch by the Temburong Riverbank thereafter follow one of the many temuai going down to Batang Duri.
It was like one of the those trip i did 20 years ago to Danum Valley Sabah, now become one of the world best rainforest destination. I believe Bukit Lutut will one day become a world class Nature destination. Leslie...
