The river of water, Batang Ai

[hwchoy]

Check this pix :



see that mountain? Thats the end of that "ridge"(the most western part, near the border). That gravel/dirt road is running parallel with that ridge!!! That ridge is separating Batang Lupar & Batang Undup of Simanggang (now called "Seri Aman" town).

Interesting, so you have this ridge running all the way almost to the coast huh? any geologist around here and tell a little story about the formation?

it almost look like those artificial ridges (although not so high and not so long) created by the Taiwanese army in their armour training area (for the tanks to practice shooting and scooting).

wonder if it is possible to walk along the ridge line all the way to the coast?

Ehhh....it doesn't looks interesting if u see it on the ground. That is Lupar line. Sarawak is made up of 2 geologically areas, divided by Lupar river (or near that ridge)
Sarawak west of Lupar river is part of ancient Sunda shield, most of the rocks are about 80 million years. For central & northern Sarawak(north of Lupar), rocks are younger than 80 million years.

To find out more, turn to page 23 of "National Parks of Sarawak". Check the "Lupar line".
