#localtourguides #100waysoftravel #borneo #sarawak #kuching #bako #jungle Gunung Kelambu Lang is a true wilderness experience, with no well-maintained trails, requiring hikers to climb and cross rivers. It's essential to wear water-resistant, non-slip shoes as your feet will be wet throughout the trek. We hired a local tour guide from Kampung Sungai Bako to embark on an exciting 6-kilometer journey.The trek took about 2 to 3 hours, depending on our pace. Along the way, our guide explained why the river appeared reddish—the Pelawan trees, with their red bark, occasionally shed into the river, coloring the water. Despite its muddy look, the water was surprisingly clean, and we rewarded ourselves with a refreshing dip in the waterfall's cascade. Our guide, a local Malay who spoke fluent Chinese and Hakka, made the journey even more engaging by sharing fascinating stories of the area's natural wonders. It was an adventure filled with nature, culture, and a peaceful retreat at the waterfall.
