Baan Gong Waterfall

今天一早，我和友人驱车前往Kuching南部的Padawan区。又再次到访不熟悉的地方找寻瀑布。当然，在这之前做了许多功课是无法避免的。

今天第一站是Baan Gong瀑布。

在网上找到的资料仅知是位于Kampung Sikoq而已。所以当我们看到这个路牌，是多么的兴奋。

 

Today, the purpose we are here is to explore the waterfalls at Padawan, which located at south of Kuching. I had done a lot of homework before the trip.

 

The 1st location of the day is Baan Gong Fall.

 

Not much info for Baan Gong Fall, i understand it located at Kampung Sikoq only. When i saw this road sign, i feel exited as i know the direction is correct.

在往前驶没多久，就看到了这个退了色的牌子。

 

Drove further down, we saw this signboard. Bingo, i found the correct way to Baan Gong Fall!

向村民问明了方向。这是通往Baan Gong瀑布的乡村小路。

 

We asked some of the villagers, and this is the road lead to trailhead.

接下来经过村民的种植园。

 

The trail is passing by villagers' plantations.

随着小径，越过了这第一道小溪。

 

By following the trail, we crossed the 1st stream.

继续往前走。

 

The obvious trail continue...

路上发现的一只可爱虫虫。这是一种百足，英文称Pill Milipede，是腐食生物，吃腐烂的植物为生，多在树林里找到。

 

We found this cute insect on the trail.. it's Pill Milipede! It is capable of rolling into a ball when disturbed & feed on decomposing plant matter, usually in woodlands.

荒废了的厕所。据说是因为村民反对设备提升计划，结果这些建设就这样被搁置了。

 

Passing an abandon toilet.

约30分钟后，我们抵达了目的地。第一座小瀑布。

 

After 30mins of easy jungle trekking, we reached the 1st fall.

第二座，也就是Baan Gong主瀑布。这里有一个不算太大的水池。

 

2nd fall, the main Baan Gong Fall. Normally, visitor will stop here for a fresh dip.

发现离瀑布不远处还有一条小径通往瀑布上方。

这是Baan Gong瀑布的上方。

 

Trail continue to the top of Baan Gong Fall.

河上方这里还有一道小瀑布，就在小水坝前面。

 

Trail ends here. Here is another cascade with a small dam at the upper stream.
