Bully BOOKED ! - Labi Ridge Walk Excursion Sunday 18th Oct @ 7am SupaSave car park

This walk is now fully booked.
This walk takes us over a ridge near Labi village, along the edge of the primary rainforest of Ulu Belait. Occasional viewpoints provide spectacular views over the canopies in the Ulu Belait plain; with clear weather from here you can even see Mulu at the horizon. Early morning the distant gibbon choirs complete the scene. Other wildlife is still regularly encountered here: sambar deer, mouse deer, wild boar and civets have been spotted along this track. Surrounded by forest birds, overhead we may even get a look at rhinoceros or helmeted hornbills.
The last ascent will require a 4WD, we can carpool from Supasave parking lot. The track is not too difficult but can be slippery at times, good walking shoes recommended (bring towel and dry change for the way back). Please sign up with walking guides listed below.
