Bako trip was exciting but yet... tiring! huhu...
*Bako National Park is the oldest national park in Sarawak, established in 1957~*
Let me take you to Bako National Park in this post~ =)
So, here the journey starts~ hehehe...
There were altogether 12 of us~
Kuching City to Kampung Bako
From Kuching to Kampung Bako, it took about 40 minutes drive.
*It is about 37km from Kuching city*
Do not worry of getting lost... as there are many sign boards around showing the route to the national park~ =)
We reached there at about 9 am~
There is a visitor registration counter at the boat jetty of Kampung Bako...
We registered at the center and pay the entrance fee~
Being students, we only paid RM50 for 12 person...So, it's about
RM 4.20 per student~ =)
* I really do not know exactly how much per student...as I heard, they gave us discount~ hehe..
But, I guess it should be RM5 per student~So, remember to bring your student card if you are a student! *
For adults, it's
RM 10 per person.

Kampung Bako to Bako National Park (Park Headquarter)
Then, we took a boat to the national park~
It's
RM 18 per person for 2-way trip. You will need to add another
RM7 in order to board the boat at Pandan Kecil Beach. So, it's
RM 25 altogether~ =)
* No student price for the boat ride! >.< *
The boat ride was about 15 minutes to Bako National Park.

| Welcome to Bako National Park~ =) |
The moment when we arrived there, there were two wild boars walking towards the beach! LOL...
Tthis is the first time I see wild boars with my own eyes!
*Frankly speaking, they were really kinda ugly-looking~ No offense though... hehehe *
 |

Then, we walk to the environment education center for a short briefing... We were also given a map. =)
 |

| This is some of the trail~ |
Park Headquarter to Telok Pandan Kecil * accidentally detoured to Telok Paku >.<*
After the briefing at the center, we were supposed go to Telok Pandan kecil... It's 2.5km walk~
There will be a beach there~ and we were supposed to board the boat back to Kampung Bako there~
But, the 5 of us took the wrong turn and headed to Telok Paku..huhu... So, we wasted more than 40 minutes and walked for another 1.6km... huhu...
 |
| How on earth we did not see this sign?!!! >.< |
 |
| Heading to jungle trekking...all smiles~ =) |

 |
| Walking, walking and walking... huhu... | |

We walked back to the initial starting point and walked for another 1 and a half hour to reach our destination! huhuhu... >.<
*Everyone was really tired already...after detouring to the wrong destination...*
 |
| Still managed to smile for the camera though~ =) |
 |
| This is the sandy trail to Telok Pandan Kecil |
 |
| The wooden little bridge~ |

| It was really HOT! Luckily I brought an umbrella~ =P |
After 1 and a half hour, we had finally reached the peak of Telok Pandan Kecil~
The scenery from the peak was simply
BREATHTAKING!!! =)

We returned back to Kampung Bako at 3pm~ The boat arrived early and was waiting for us already~
* The boatman was really punctual! =) *
On the way back, we saw a lot exotic limestones~ Here are some of them~ =)
 |
| Arrived at Kampung Bako~ |
The whole trip only cost
RM29.20!
Not too bad for a jungle trekking experience + exotic scenery + beautiful sandy beach~ hehe...
