First hiking trip in 2026

First hiking trip in 2026: we found Rafflesia buds and durians at the same time. What a great day to start our first trip in this new year.

We found these unusual elongated shape of durians (Durio zibethinus) which the aril is greyish & yellowish colour. The taste is super nice and sweet.
