Jungle Fun and Rain in the Rainforest
Hey guys :o) So im actually writting this a couple of days late, internet in the jungle wasn't great! (unsurprisingly...) The second day in the jungle was really fun. I joined up again with the guys from Brasenose and we booked a guide to take us on a ...

A Leech of a Time

Day 97: Tanah Rata to Taman Negara
I'm boarding the 10am minibus to what I hope will be a greater experience of nature, in the Taman Negara National Park and one of the world's oldest jungles. Many from the Xmas group have already left the Guesthouse and the weather is drizzly so it feels ...

Day 98: Taman Negara
I cross the river, Sangai Tebeling, just after 8am and tramp into the forest. Paths are a little slippy after last night's rain. The roots of kapok and rambutan provide steps. Unlike the Cameron Highlands, the paths are clear and well-signposted, though ...
Day 99: Taman Negara
I pack a sleeping bag and head out to Bumbung Kumbang, a hide 12km into the jungle for the night. The trail is often blocked by fallen trees; one I note must only have fallen the previous night. I spook a deer. It spooks me too as I'm contemplating my ...
