We went to Bako National Park a few weeks ago. That was before we went to Sarikei. Actually we didn't plan to go. It happened that my friends in IRB (Inland Revenue Board) were going to have a trip there. So we just join them.
Basically Bako is about 30 minutes drive from Kuching and the National Park is a 15 minutes boat ride from the jetty. There are a few beaches and island around the National Park. During the trip, we decided to go for a jungle trekking. Our destinantion was the Small Pandan Beach.
The route that we followed were a variety one. There were a rainforest and some sort of a dessert. we climbed hills and walk along a small river. We walked for more than two hours. By the time we arrived at the beach, we were too tired to enjoy the view. Maybe that's why people say it's not the destination, but the journey that counts.
