Exploring the Pristine Rainforest of Kuching

Secret wild adventure in Kuching! An unexpected encounter with the Bako Rainforest and proboscis monkeys 🐒🌿 On the seventh day of my business trip, I discovered this pristine rainforest just 20 kilometers away! Woke up early to explore before my flight, and I was completely conquered by this green kingdom~ 📍Bako National Park Address: Sarawak, Malaysia Opening Hours: 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM 🚤 Thrilling transportation! Took a speedboat from the dock rushing into the rainforest. At first, I thought we took the wrong route until I saw the crocodile warning sign confirming we were on track (though I didn’t see any real crocodiles the whole time 😂) 🌳 Must-try experiences: 1️⃣ Proboscis Monkey Tracking The local guide took 10 minutes to find these little guys at the treetops! Recommended to bring a telephoto lens, as these shy creatures love foraging deep in the rainforest. 2️⃣ Long-bearded Wild Boar Party The most photogenic rainforest residents! Bring an apple to interact closely with them; their round, chubby appearance is super healing. ⚠️ Adventure tips: - Wear non-slip shoes! Many paths require climbing over exposed tree roots. - Remember to use a stick to clear the way and watch out for snakes in the trees. - Prepare waterproof gear during the rainy season; rainforest weather changes quickly. 📸 Hidden photo spots: 1️⃣ Mudflat Viewing Platform The waters near the crocodile warning sign are often home to birds, with a background symphony of chirping insects. 2️⃣ Ancient Tree and Vine Area Massive tangled trees with hanging vines create an instant “Indiana Jones” vibe in every shot. I even encountered silvered langurs, flying squirrels, and hermit crabs! This pristine rainforest is like a wildlife blind box collection~ Finally, here’s the proboscis monkey I worked hard to capture (P9), can you find it?
