DAY 1 - Trekking to Kampung Semban

 

 

Banjaran Bungo (Bungo range) is located in the western part of Kuching.
 

 

 

 

 

Part of trail is blocked, so we have no choice to walk on the newly constructed dirt road under the scorching sun.

On the first day, we had to trek 9 km from Kampung Bangoh (the place we parked our car) to Kampung Semban. It took us about 4 - 5 hours to reach our destination.

Suspension bridge:
 

 

 

 

 

Hill paddy field. The whole place will be gone (except the higher altitude mountain range), so the villagers are "asked" to move out to "outside world" in the near future.
