Bako National Park

Few days ago, I went to Bako National Park with my friends. We wanted to take the petra jaya bus (rm2 per person) there from the open air market but we missed it. In the end, we decided to take a van (rm10 per person) there instead because we did not want to wait for another hour for the next petra jaya bus to arrive. haha It was faster and we reached there at the same time as the petra jaya bus that we missed. The entrance fee was rm10 and the boat trip was rm94 per boat for a return trip.

We finally reached the place after about 15 minutes ride.

The monkeys welcomed us. haha

We had to register ourselves at the registration office before going to the different trails.

We were lucky enough to get to see this bearded wild boar.

We wanted to see proboscis monkeys and the beach so we took the Tanjung Paku trail.
It was 1.6km.

We chose 3 trails (Teluk Paku, Teluk Pandan Besar and Teluk Pandan Kecil) and registered ourselves under those 3 trails. Considering the stamina that Pauline and I have, we were so exhausted and we felt like dying after going through the first trail. haha! We ended up sitting in the canteen instead.

As I was walking back to the boat jetty, I saw this

Fresh, hot and moist (I think it was from the monkey)

We managed to catch the petra jaya bus to go back. It was indeed a great day. haha
