Public Transport-Kuching City.

Kuching is considered a non-active city at night, therefore public transportion after 7 pm may be limited to certain locations within Kuching or outside. Taxis are available 24 hours but also limited to those who used to travel at night and have a place to book for oncall taxi or rent a car at reasonable rate. Since all tourist spots in Kuching area is located quite far from one to another, therefore rent a car for convenience, you'll be able to visit more places. Unlike Kuala Lumpur City, Kuching serves without Train, no LRT, no commuter except for Bus/Water taxis (Sampan).

If  bus is your mode of transport in Kuching City ..first you need to study the bus route and make sure you know where you are going.

My experience..If you want to go to Semenggok Wildlife Centre to meet Ritchie and family the Urang Utan.Go early in the morning take bus number K6.Don't take on noon e.g 13:30pm bus from Kuching because you might miss the return bus you go at noon returning is difficult .Go at 07:00am and are just in time to see Ritchie and friends 'The Urang Utan' feeding time that is at 09:00 am everyday.Spend few hours there and return by bus at noon is easier, but not after 04:00pm it might be difficult.

** Ritchie is the oldest urang utan at the wildlife centre in Semenggok.

Sunday with Orang Utan @Semenggoh Nature Reserve.

SEMENGGOH NATURE RESERVE.
For over 20 years,the wardens here trained young orang utans,who had been orphaned or rescued from captivity,how to survive in the wild.The sucess of this programme has left the surrounding forest reserve with a thriving population of healthy adolescent and young adult orang utans,who are now breeding in the wild.They spend most of their time roaming the forest but frequently come back to the centre for free meal.If it is the fruiting season in the forest,some or even all of them may not cometo feed.This in itself is agood sign another step on the way to full rehabilitation. Welcome ..........
Semenggoh Wildlife Center,which is home to over 30 Orang Utans.you will notice that each orang utan is given a name of their own.....hey!!!not including the last user name ok....

Perhap this is SITI (not our singer) this is Siti Semenggoh.
Don't be shy.. orang utans are goods timekeepers and as feeding time approaches they start to make an appeaance and waiting at the flatform.


Next time you come..don't forget to bring at least PS2 or Xbox games for my kid here.
and blue jean for me....
They descend from the trees of the surrounding forest reserve to offer visitors a unique wildlife experience.



Tourist waiting for feeding time of Orang Utan...feeding time is from 9am-10am.
Local tourist(She my wife)..not dare to come close to watch Orang Utan...who knows orangutan wish to wear or try her tudong.
This is Orang Utan Clinic....so no human allowed.
