Borneo Highlands, Kuching- What you'll be Expecting

And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them. (Romans 8:28)

I went to Borneo Highlands(one of the golf resorts in Kuching where you can have a health retreat or spending some time to relax after some hectic days) last weekend with my family. My family had made an early appointment with one of the staffs there to bring us around during our visit(reason of visiting- for some future planning). As the resort is situated 580-620m (approx.) above sea-level, a shuttle was at the foothill to bring us up- RM40.00 per person(two- way trip).

The whole journey was about 10km and took us quite some time to reach the resort. As for the price, it's actually quite reasonable(if you decide to drive up yourself, you are putting you and your passengers at danger(except that if you are a very, very, very experienced driver or have driven that particular road so often that you remember every corner like the back of your hand. Not to mention, pity your car brakes too). There was once an important man(with his family) who went driving up and had a very bad accident halfway(the car he drove plunged down the ravine, killing everyone in it).

Praise God for the good weather(we had our tour in the morning till noon and it only started raining later in the afternoon, God is just awesome, isn't it?) and everything ran smoothly and as planned that day.

For now, let the following photos give you an overview on what you gonna see when you get up there:

On the way to the foothill of Borneo Highlands, you'll probably pass the newly opened Sheraton Hotel: Four Points.

Borneo Highlands is also famous of its beautiful and exotic flowers, these are some:

'Lady Shoes' (above)

Going higher up the peak would take you to the Sarawak-Kalimantan border where you will have a breathtaking view while enjoying the cool, fresh air.

Above: This is quite a common sight where thick mist covers the mountain and the land below in the morning and often during rainy seasons. I reckoned that the temperature is about 25 degree Celsius during my tour that day.

Wild Orchid

Care for a massage?

....or a steam bath?

The food served is mainly vege and handsome price labels on it. It's worth to try. Little flavourings are added to preserve its natural taste.

Mushroom Soup


Toufu vege

'Jungle Cabin'

These photos, again, are just the 'summary' of the total photos taken.

To readers out there, it's worth the experience to try go pay Borneo Highlands a visit.

And now for a little Sneak-peek to what my next post is about: Delicacies.

Till then, take care and God bless.

Jesus loves you!:-)
