Bakun Trip

This trip has been planned for almost a year.Couple of friends can't make it at the the last minutes before the trip,but after all,5 of us finally made it.
The stories of giant Malaysian mahseer or kelah/empurau and sebarau/semah,adong,juak and ikan labang made the trip is the one that we really looking forward to.
We started the journey around 10 at night of March 15th.Ten hours drive from Kuching to Bintulu,and another three hours to Bakun doesn't feel that long.
And another 3 hours boat ride from the dam to the upper river of Murum.We reached Nanga Temaju just after the sun set and in the dark,we can't find a camp site.No land visible,since water has flooded everything.The flooded trees blocked the way to the land.So we spent the first night on the boat.

Supper cum breakfast around 1 am at Jelukung.


Fruit stall along the road up to Bakun.


Deforestation....


Some forest still survive,for the moment...


Oil palm plantation taking place.


Justin and his mega lense.


Red..


and White....


and Red...


and Black.


tiny falls..


The tower for the high voltage cable under construction..


Iron trees introduced to Bakun...


and concrete waterfalls too...


and new ridge of mountain connecting mountains and stops the mighty Rejang river.


and Rejang become a small stream...


but an ocean created above it...


about 3 times the size of Singapore...


drowned many trees and monkeys...


and transformed this tribe into sea gypsy...


their houses has no stairs and pillars anymore...


the view behind the new mountain...


the new ocean...


and the trigger happy fisherman...


and the curious...


the sun goes down,but we are still on the way up..

the night on the boat.

and the quest...

Temaju Falls,the next morning..more powerful and more fierce..

the God dam...

'this is my stadium'....

and safe from the land tax...

and keep extending...

out of place?

...its time to go home now...

Just in case you notice there's no picture with the catch here,please don't bother to ask for it.
It was raining heavily every night for the whole trip and nights before that.Water is just too murky.Artificial lure doesn't work.And only catfish take the bait.
Anyway...it was a great trip..and great escape too.

  4. Hi, I think your website might be having browser compatibility issues.
    When I look at your blog in Chrome, it looks fine but when opening
    in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping. I just wanted to give you
    a quick heads up! Other then that, wonderful blog!

  5. certainly like your website however you need to test the
    spelling on several of your posts. Several of them are rife with spelling issues and I to find it very troublesome to tell the reality on the other hand
    I'll certainly come back again.

  9. Hey would you mind stating which blog platform you're working with? I'm planning to start my own
    blog in the near future but I'm having a difficult time making a decision between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your layout seems different then most blogs and I'm
    looking for something unique. P.

    S My apologies for being off-topic but I had to ask!
