    In this trip, I failed to reach the summit of this limestone hill near Tebakang. The limestone cliff is too steep to climb.

    There are 5 species of Begonia growing in different spots of this hill. At least 2 species which I found it for the first time! The only Begonia which I didn't photograph is Begonia xiphioides, which is the most common one in western Sarawak.

    A species of fruit bat (probably Balionycteris maculata) get caught by a mist net set up by somebody. I destroyed the net before leaving this secret garden.
