Sumbiling Eco-Village, temburong Trip 26/3/2009

Went to Sumbiling Eco-village on group tours with my colleagues (and being combined with Katok's students) withh a atotal of about 40+ people altogether. We took the trip, which was offered/organized by Hasa Incentives Sdn Bhd (Warisan Mata-mata, Gdg). U can check their websites Borneoguide.com or Sumbiling.blogspot.com Package of B$55 (Brunei students price) includes: 1.Water taxi from and to bangar 2.Overland transpot (bus) from bangar to Sumbiling eco-Village 3.Morning & Afternoon Tea, and Lunch at the Village. 4.Jungle Trekking, medicinal Plant, River Tubing/Rafting and Fishing So practically what we went through that day were:
7.00am - meet at kianggeh

8.00am - depart Kianggeh

8.45am - arrived at Bangar Jetty

8.45-900am - short break then went on a bus to go Sumbiling

9.40am - arrived at Sumbiling Eco-Village end road, then walked for short distance.

10.00am - arrived at Pondok Sumbiling Ec-Village, and take short break for refresment and briefing by
english-speaking tour guide.
10.40am - crossing Temb
urong river by Temuai (2minutes), then continue jungle trekking about 30 minutes. Some were very slippery spots.
11.15 - Reached Sungai Mutong (tributary of Temburong river), given group activity to build a raft + tube, for river cruising and survival. belumba wah with the other groups, and WE WIN! nasib nda tlapas rakit kami. but only 3 person were to sit on the raft, the rest jdi pengayuh+swimmer. water level that time as low as at your ankle level.. at some point maybe 10 - 15 feet deep.. which difficult for us to push the raft. The tubing back along the Mutong river took about 30 minutes (jauh kali ah).. REAL WET!
12.00 noon - (Going back to Sumbiling Eco-Village) Jungle trekking back to the point where we across Temburong River by Temuai earlier, but this time, we just cross the river ourselves (arus laju..kira bahaya jua sikit la), so here swimming and main-main air came as complementary hehe...

1.00-2.30pm - Freshen up and Lunch and Photoshoot...
3.00 - get back on the bus
4.00 - reach Pekan bangar then on the boat to Kianggeh before 5pm
