Sebako Waterfall: Journey Through the Rainforest for a Spectacular Waterfall Experience
On a March morning, we set off from Kuching city, driving for about 1 hour and 15 minutes 🚗 to reach the trailhead of Sebako Waterfall.
At 8:00 AM sharp, we stepped onto the damp, earthy trail, winding our way up alongside an old water pipeline 🚶♀️. On one side, tropical ferns and wild vines 🌱 intertwined under the forest canopy, while on the other, a gentle stream whispered softly 💧, as if serenading our journey.
As we hiked, panting and catching our breath, we unexpectedly stumbled upon a blooming Rafflesia 🌺 by the roadside! We could hardly believe our eyes—this legendary flower truly appears when least expected. What incredible luck!
After approximately 1.5 hours, the view suddenly opened up. The waterfall cascaded down the cliff, and the icy mountain spring washed away all our fatigue and heat 🧊. We spent the day picnicking, playing in the water, taking photos, and simply relaxing until around 1:30 PM, when we began our descent, concluding this pure forest adventure.
Here, there are no crowds, no signal 📵—just the sway of trees, the beat of your heart, and the breath of nature ❤️.
