Bako National Park

Our next excursion took us to Bako National Park for one night. You can’t get there directly by car, so we caught a bus and a small boat to get to the park. There is a main cafeteria on the island which is the only place for eating and several buildings with basic accommodations. Lots of small lizards inside our room.

We did the big loop trail around the island which took 2 hours. It was a thick forest walk which included coast lines, beautiful vistas and a waterfall. It was a very hot day which made the walk challenging. I also made the mistake of carrying a heavy pack as we hadn’t checked into our accommodations yet.

At the main hut there was a family of wild pigs roaming free and lots of monkeys and birds.

We supplemented the crappy food we brought along with dinner at the communal cafeteria followed by a beach walk and sunset. There were lots of tiny crab running all over the beach.En savoir plus
