Bako National Park

Oh hooray! Went for another short trip again before that tedious moment starts.
(actually this's a procrastinated blog post, we went on 13-14/8/2013 and it's already September now, MY BAD =(( )

And no doubt, went there together with my favorite people for 2 days 1 night.
Since there're six of us, we rented a whole chalet.

Our chalet! 2 rooms with 3 beds on each. there're toilet, bathroom and a kitchen too.

We have always always wanted to pay a visit here since nowhen 'n we finally did it. 

How could Kuchingites living in Kuching for 20 years yet never go there huh? *shame shame* LOL 

The main purpose of us going there was to jungle trek! (And of course, take a look at the famous seastack which resembles the look of a cobra rising from the sea) 

Woke up super early (around 7am, okay lah, at least I think it's early LOL) to take a breakfast together with the gang first before heading to the destination.

For your information, the car trip took less than 1 hour (approximately 30 minutes from Kuching) to reach the Bako jetty. You may park your vehicle there without any charges apply. 

Entrance ticket : RM10 per person (adult)

To reach the Bako National Park, the only route/way is to take a speedboat which takes 20 minutes. 

RM47 per boat and they only allow a maximum of 5 pax.

Yes the price stated is only 1 way! 

You'd have to settle all the payments first upon departure. 

Oh of course you may try to swim across the river through the sea to reach there despite the fact that there're crocodiles inside the river LOL

scenery from the jetty to the national park. one of the things i always enjoy watching is to see the muddy river water changes to crystal clear blue sea water. =)

If you're planning for a 2-days-1-night trip, 'n planning to trek to take a look at the seastack, it'd be better to trek on the first day instead of on the second day since the check-out time is FREAKIN' 11am.  

mangrove swamp could be seen upon arrival. so scenic isn't it?

WELCOME!!!

Arrived at the park around 11am. You may leave your baggage at the lobby store room after registering.
After preparing, we started our trek HOORAY!

pathway before entering the trek. loving the green lush shades.

of course! not forgetting the selca part hehehe.

self-timer! luckily the camera didn't drop off. if not someone gonna be real mad =p

we trekked and trekked and trekked. seriously, the path was so naked that most of the time it's not covered by trees. so smart people, please do not dress like what i did. =.=
unless you'd love to do sun-tanning LOL
and please do not worry about the trek, it's as easy as ABC. trust me k?
i hardly sweat during the trek so Leslie and I at last ran. *crazy*

cloud9 as energy booster ;)

no selca no life!! see, i told ya the trek was very naked without shades.

however, the beginning of the trek does have shades. 

The map stated that it'd took us 1 and a half hour to reach the viewpoint yet we only took 1 hour!! So proud baybehh *wink*

too picturesque! view from the cliff. azure sky and sea, lush and rocky cliff. life's good =D

our excited expressions were all shown on the faces. =DD

There's a route to reach the ground (a beach), try to search for it to have fun at the beach.

typical beach posing. stand still and smile LOL

the weather was extremely warm that day! with scorching sun some more, so we didn't swim in the sea.
we get under the shades because i found something more fun than swimming!

yup little crabby!

as i always say i have nearly all sorts of animal phobias, but this's one of the exceptions.
i touched them and i allowed them to crawl on my skin *so proud*

so cute so irresistible!! i wanted to bring them home but i know i'd better leave them alone LOL

after that, we went back to our chalet to prepare the private barbecue night thingy.
you may catch up a boat by the shore but make sure it's not too late as the boatman will leave around 4pm.
and payment is required. so we walked back HAHA

met something naughty on the way back. there're COUNTLESS of them but they won't attack if you don't provoke them.

and the wild boars too. i screamed a lot. of course. =.=

the wild boars were considered as good because they usually left us alone, only when we started to barbecue.

they stared at you like it's a must to feed them on =.=

got angry some more!! not cute and we won't surrender okay??!! we've got our rights to protect our food! *angry*

FOOD!! and it's too much for 6 people, definitely too much!!

this's what i always do when everyone is busy, SELCA!

either you selca , become a temporary photographer or walking here and there (to make yourself look busy) when others were busy.

this's to ensure that you won't being demanded to do/barbecue/prepare food, but merely enjoying the food.

this secret should be kept but i decided to spill the beans HAHAHA!

good idea not? LOL

yes!!! this's how you sit!! cool huh??!! =p

we slept around 12am. sweet and sound baybehhhh.
WAIT!!
when we're dreaming, suddenly, we heard some weird sounds outside our room. like the sound of stumbling, kicking the chairs and chewing. *SCARY*
the line signal was very weak that we could hardly call the next door, there wasn't any connecting room.
until we're successfully to call each other, we agreed to sneak out a little to see what's actually happening.

DISASTER!!

we suspected these're all done by the WILD BOAR.
so we eventually knew that wild boars love eating polystrene icebox =.=
may god bless you so that you won't die. because this material could hardly digest. or maybe i should say it's IMPOSSIBLE to digest.

our horrifying faces. thank you wild boar for giving us a memorable and scary night. =.=

make sure you do not leave anything that can be chew outside the room. HAHA

group photo before leaving!!

on the way back, you can request the boatman to bring you to take a look at the seastack.
for ours, rm10/pax but for another boat, rm5/pax.
haggling is allowed of course. but we failed HAHA

notice a face? yup, your imagination is needed *wink*

the most famous seastack of all. looked like cobra not? actually it's really thin but from this angle, i can't tell. hopefully it won't topple.

hee told us that their boatman didn't explain much to them, just bring them around and got back.
but luckily ours did! he told us some stories and showed us the seastacks which might look like seahorse, a face and bla bla bla.
see, there's no free lunch in this world hehe.
happy ending for the trip =D


struggling hard for life at this moment. trying hard!
