A mountain in Bengoh.

Nestled atop a mountain in Bengoh, Padawan sits a Bidayuh Biatah village called Kampung Semban.To reach Kampung Semban at 1000 feet above sea level, one takes a six-hours’ trek through jungle trails passing bamboo groves, paddy fields, pepper vines, rubber trees, durian orchards and umpteen bamboo bridges, amidst cool breezes and the gushing waters of the streams and waterfalls. To read more about my jungle trekking HERE.

 The Bidayuh Biatah have been living in this mountainous region for generations.

 And what is so special about Kampung Semban ladies is its remaining treasure of  ladies with brass rings on their legs and arms, the eldest more than 80 years old, the youngest more than sixty years old.

 At the summit, one is rewarded with spectacular views of the golden sunrise over the magnificent Bungo range, the billowing clouds forming a feather canopy over the valleys and with the fresh mountain air rushing into one’s lungs.
