Borneo

Bako National Park

Bako is Malaysia’s oldest National Park, established in 1957 and takes its name from the muddy river nearby which flows into the waters of the South China Sea.

Even before arriving at the park, the route taken by the river provides a memorable landscape with the soft morning light shining on the almost still waters of the river Bako, which forms a mirror that merges with the sky and where the skyline fades in presence of a thin layer of mist that emanates from the hot waters of the river.

There are several possible paths to be covered in a day trip, and others that require more time to dwell at least one night in the park. During this visit* the western part of the park was closed to visitors, but the one third that is open offer many options, with 10 possible tracks.

The choice was to Litang Trail with 5.8 kilometers and that it was done in about three hours that left time to do part of the trail to Telok Paku, which despite its simple ones 800 meters has more obstacles and takes a long time.

The Litang Trail is what goes over the forest, with diverse landscapes, from dense and humid jungle, until hot and dry rocky plateaus. As November is already time of much rain the track was soaked in water, but not muddy, as soil is predominantly sandy. Towards the end of the course,

The Telok Paku is offering more chances to observe wildlife especially Proboscis monkey, but given the number of visitors, some quite noisy, the chances of observing animals is reduced, beyond ants and small insects.

But what truly marked this visit was the route at Litang Trail, where during about three hours, I could walk through the wilderness without finding other visitors and can thus enjoy a more intense contact with nature, in which the mind focused on the walk, on foot movement and on rhythm of the breath, gets empty of thoughts.

In total isolation the jungle noises bring the fears and ghosts that we try to hide with the frantic pace of life, making the forest show us his danger and spooky side. But accepting the power of nature we are conducted and cherished by the energy and power that emanates from these trees, making us feel part of this magic that we call Nature. Mother Nature.

This was the most interesting and impressive experience in natural parks, leaving an intense memory of those hours spent in close contact with the jungle. A bless provided but the deep forces of the jungle.

The Litang Trail has marks 100 at 100 meters with the distance made, which not only facilitates orientation as also the determination of the effort and the pace of the hike. The final part of the trail, on arrival at headquarters is done on flat wooden platforms.

The Telok Paku Trail doesn’t have these milestones, but is very well defined, with parts of the route on wooden platforms and stairs that facilitate the passage in the steepest areas.

In terms of equipment it isn’t necessary anything special, not even hiking boots. A sneakers, running shoes or sandals works perfectly in this kind of trails. Some parts of the trails have some water that you can’t avoid.

The heat and humidity make you sweat profusely, so all clothing quickly get soaked.

Orangutan… men of the Jungle

In the local language “orang-utan” means the “men of the jungle” and they are the ones that feature in the dense jungle of Borneo, with its orange plumage, movements and relaxed and confident presence.

Are spread almost everywhere in the island of Borneo, both Malaysia and Indonesian side where their habitat was not yet destroyed by men, by logging for exotic woods trade or by the massive planting of palm trees for palm oil production. But as these creatures are not easy to find and the jungle not let easily being invade, the options was to visit the Semenggoh Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre, located a few kilometers south from Kuching.

This center is housed in a nature reserve collects orang-utans victims or left orphans by man actions, keeping the animals in the wild, only providing food in two specific locations, to which the animals flock in search of easy food especially during the season where there’s less fruit on the trees around the park.

The presence of these mammals, totally relaxed and accustomed to human presence attracts all the attention of a few dozen people gathered at the point of observation, hearing the clicking of many cameras and i-phones, trying to catch the clumsy movements of the younger animals. The presence of these ” men of the jungle ” is not guaranteed, nor the number that each day is shown next to the feeding area, since they are in total freedom. On this day, in the middle of December, there were two of these lovely creatures, a female and a juvenile, in which the latter was keen to show some of their skills hanging on ropes and eating bananas upside down.

But the visit is not limited only to the “men of the jungle” may be wandering the various trails of the park without the need to travel long distances to feel the contact with nature and the power of the jungle. The constant humidity you feel, makes the pace slow and the body heavy, but gives time to enjoy the small details of the plant world that takes on a special glow and magical colors under the light filtered through the canopy of tall trees that hide the blue sky.

Kuching… capital of Sarawak

The southern state of Malaysian Borneo’s Sarawak, being known by the cultural presence of the largest ethnic group in Sarawak, the Iban, famous for their longhouses, a sort of common home to several families and center of all the activity of a community, but currently they serve almost exclusively for tourism purposes.

But the city of Kuching pleasantly situated along the river, is a point of confluence of various cultures, with a strong British colonial presence visible in some buildings that are landmarks in the city for its whiteness and imposing architecture, and also by the religion where Christianity has a strong presence in contrast to the rest of the country were dominates Muslim religion. Along the Main Bazar align the shophouses, made for commercial proposes, but with the first floor reserved for housing, typical from the Chinese community that lives here for generations maintaining a very present culture. Not far is Little India (Jalang India), where along a street are concentrated shops, selling Indian products, grocery, clothing and textiles. In between some shops selling shirts and fabrics with traditional patterns of Indonesia.

But along the Main Bazaar many shops selling the crafts of the Iban culture, particularly woodcarving, baskets and weaving fabrics made with the typical geometric patterns of this ethnic group whose culture is being rapidly replaced by Malay culture.

Kuching means “cat” and everywhere there are references to these animals, either sculptures or street-art… but there are many cats in the neighborhood…

Sarawak and to sarawakians

The third largest island in the world is divided by three countries: Malaysia, Indonesia (which owns 73% of the territory) and Brunei (with 1% of the territory).

The long history of this territory what is now Malaysia, include Portuguese, Dutch, and English; with II World War came the Japanese troops and only in 1963 Malaysia became independent, grouping the Malaysia, Sarawak and Sabah, as also including Singapore, which two years later was excluded from this territory became independent.

During the British presence, particularly in the first half of the twentieth century it was strongly encouraged the arrival of immigrants from China and India, which soon doubled the population in the territory.

Currently 30 million people in Malaysia, 50% are Malays, 23% are Chinese, 12% indigenous, 7% Indian and the remaining 8% are resident but do not hold citizenship is common the presence of Indonesian immigrants.

Despite the apparent harmony and tolerance that exists between different ethnic groups, and even the country consider as the official religion Islam also accepts the practice of other believes, in reality there is a discrimination between Malay who hold power and the most important positions in administration of the country, and the other ethnic groups.

In Borneo, particularly in Sarawak, is evident a desire for autonomy or independence from Malaysia because the different indigenous population, all grouped under the name of Dayaks, do not consider themselves recognized as full citizens in relation to the largest ethnic group the Malays.

The Iban are the largest indigenous group in the region of Sarawak and struggle to maintain their culture, but currently few speak the native language that is not taught in schools, leaving the indigenous culture practically reserved for festivals and some handicrafts. With the British presence also animist practices that dominated the spirituality of these people has been replaced by Christianity. Very quickly this indigenous culture will be erased by the dominant Malay culture and the fast economic growth that the Malaysia governments are imposing in the country, based on the dilapidation of natural resources, affecting irremediably the jungle, the oldest rain forest in the world.

Kota Kinabalu, a capital de Sabah

A Malásia divide-se em duas regiões: a chamada Malásia Peninsular, ou Malásia Ocidental e o Bornéu Malaio, situando-se na zona Oeste da ilha do Bornéu, sendo o lado Este pertencente à vizinha Indonésia.

O Bornéu Malaio, está dividido em dois estados, a norte Sabah e a Sul Sarawak, tendo-se mantido independente e governado por tribos até 1963, altura em que foi incorporado na Federação Malaia, tendo a cultura tribal, assim como as diferentes línguas e costumes sido rapidamente erodidos pela introdução da cultura da Malásia.

Situada junto ao mar, a região de Sabah foi local de comércio desde 700 D.C. com os Chineses a trocarem matérias primas com as tribos locais. No século XIV esta região passou a ser dominada pelo Sultão do Brunei que cedeu partes do território ao império Britânico que aqui fez comércio de tabaco, borracha e madeira, depois da passagem em 1521 do navegador português Fernão de Magalhães.

Kota Kinabalu é capital do estado de Sabah, e de todo este passado pouco resta depois dos bombardeamentos durante a II Guerra Mundial. O que se encontra é uma cidade moderna, organizada e dominada pelo betão, onde é evidente o gosto por superfícies comerciais e pela construção em altura que cria uma barreira entre o mar e a densa floresta que ainda domina o Bornéu, fortemente ameaçada pela plantação em regime de monocultura de palmeiras para extração de óleo de palma, uma das maiores exportações da Malásia.

Da cultura das tribos locais pouco ou nada se nota, sobrevivendo uma ou outra loja de artesanato local, numa cidade de betão com pouco para oferecer, para além da grande variedade gastronómica fruto da presença de grandes comunidades chinesas, e da comida malaia que por si apresenta influências indianas, tailandesas e indonésias.

O peixe e marisco têm lugar de destaque com o mercado situado junto ao pequeno porto a mostrar grande actividade em especial durante a manhã e ao fim da tarde, com uma grande variedade de peixes e de mariscos. Perto, o Central Market fervilha de agitação com centenas de bancas a vender e a confeccionar comida, sendo o local da cidade ideal para refeições e o também que oferece maior variedade e melhores preços.

Perto da zona denominada de Austrália Place existe um acesso pedonal que por escadas, cerca de 250 degraus, chega ao Signal Hill Observatory um mirador com vista sobre o Mar da China e as ilhas que formam o Tunku Abdul Rahman Park, mas cuja vista está fortemente comprometida pela construção de massivos edifícios que pouco já deixam ver da paisagem marítima.

A cidade é pequena e pode ser feita a pé, contudo os principais pontos de interesse situam-se afastados, como os parques naturais. O mais atractivo em redor de Kota Kinabalu é sem dúvida a natureza, sendo o Monte Kinabalu (Gunung Kinabalu) o ponto mais alto do Bornéu com cerca de 4000m; contudo a opção foi para as ilhas que formam o Tunku Abdul Rahman Park, situadas a cerca de 3 km de Kota Kinabalu. A escolha foi para um das mais pequenas Pulau Mamutik por oferecer um dos melhores locais para observação de corais e de vida marinha, não sendo necessário grande esforço ou equipamento para ver de perto peixes de fantásticas cores, deslocando-se por entre corais de diversas cores e formas e rochas cobertas de anémonas e outros seres marinhos.

A estadia em Kota Kinabalu for marcada pela chegada da monção em que os dias amanhecendo quentes e luminosos, se transformam em nublados com o céu a encher-se de pesadas e densas nuvens cinzentas que associadas a trovoadas descarregam sobre a cidade forte chuva que dura umas poucas horas. Passada a tempestade o ar fica mais fresco mas carregado de humidade, deixando um rastos de nuvens no céu que iluminadas pelas raios de sol do fim do dia enchem o céu de cores fantásticas.

Alojamento:

A zona da cidade denominada de Australia Place, situada na zona Este da cidade perto da Atkinson Clock Tower e da Lorong Dewan é onde se concentra a maioria das alojamentos para orçamentos backpackers, com dormitórios e com quartos duplos a rondar os 60 a 70 RM.

Também nesta zona se encontram cafés e restaurantes de estilo ocidental que oferecem um local agradável e calmo para passar umas horas saboreando um bom café, sofisticada pastelaria, com ar-condicionado e free wi-fi… se bem que um café num destes locais custa cerca de 10 RM (ringits)

 

Onde comer:

Sendo uma cidade junto à costa, o peixe e o marisco ocupa lugar de destaque na comida local, existindo vários restaurantes junto ao mar servindo marisco e peixe fresco, mas onde uma refeição pode custar mais de 80 ringits para duas pessoas.

Contudo o Central Market, um mercado a céu-aberto, onde as bancas protegidas por toldos constituem a opção mais económica oferecendo grande variedade de comida local, incluindo fruta, doces e sobremesas. Um fried-rice custa menos de 4 RM.

Na cidade existem muitas opções. Os locais favoritos foram o Fong Ip Café (cruzamento da Jalang Pantai com a Jalang Gaya) com comida chinesa e com opções malaias, e onde se destaca o laksa, uma espécie de caril à base de leite de côco, com noodles, tofu e gengibre e aqui é servido com camarão. Na esquina oposta, no Azlina Sulawesi de influência muçulmana, serve-se comida típica malaia, alguns caris tailandeses e onde se pode encontrar rotis, numa clara influência da comida do sul da Índia.

Atenção que o horário das refeições é limitado: apesar de se poder ter uma refeição durante todo o dia, com os restaurantes a abrirem pelas 7h da manhã é normal encerrarem pelas 21.30h.
