Time: 9am~5pm
Venue: Kampung Sait
Objective:
A Kampung (malay word means village) visiting together with a group of almost 20 people; we’ve bring along some cakes, biscuits, snacks, sweets for the kampung’s kids and elders, hiking and also to experience kampung people’s ordinary life.
That was a beautiful Sunday morning. The lazy sun in a cloudy bedding. After having breakfast together with lions from Lions Club of Stampin Pending Kuching and its sponsoring leos from Leo Club of SMK Bandar Kuching No.1, our journey to Kampung Sait begun.
It took us about 45 minutes to reach Kampung Bengoh-The nearest village to Kampung Sait which can be reached by driving. We can't drive any further here, since there is no suitable path for any vehicles to reach Kampung Sait. The village is quite isolated and it is located somewhere inner-landed near Borneo Highland. We got to reach the village on feet.
This is an amazing construction built by the villages - the gigantic bamboo brigde (below). It is an amazing Indiana-Jones-Liked experience crossing such pretty brigde. It is very shaky and it makes a lot of termulous sound when somebody's crossing it.
Here is another one.
It took us about 2hours and 30minutes to reach Kampung Sait. We were told that there are 2 more villages down the trail by additional 4~6 hours walks.
The villagers are very friendly.
Our IPP is distributing some foods to the villagers.
We really had a great time with the villagers and wonderful experience. We would like to thank President Chai (Lions Club of Stampin-Pending Kuching) who had invited us to join this outing.
