Sandstone hill in western Sarawak

I accidentally went into a wild palm garden deep inside the jungle of western Sarawak. There are so many species of wild palms here including Pinanga tomentella, Pinanga vietchii, Iguanura elegans and many more. 😍

Pinanga tomentella can produce seedlings from the main stem of mother palm.

Caving and hiking at limestone outcrop (July 2026)

Last Saturday, we were exploring a new cave in Sarawak and found new species of crab, Arachnothelphusa sp.. It lives in the pocket of water of limestone boulders inside the dark cave next to a subterranean river.
