MOUNT SINGAI
JUNGLE TREKING
Trekking in the
virgin rain forest of the mystical Mount Singai is an experience not to be
missed, re-living the arduous mountain climbing following the route of Singai’s
forefathers of the 18th-19th century. Mount Singai
resembles a table top that can be seen from the city of Kuching. Rising 1843ft.
(562m). above sea level, the plateau was inhabited by the BiSingai or the people
of Singai for more than 500 years. The first Catholic Mission outside Kuching
was built at Mount Singai in 1889. Now, it is the site of the Catholic Memorial
Park and Pilgrimage Centre. Visitors come from all over the world to see and
pray at the holy church.
The 5-hour trek
starts at Kupuo Tubon winding up the mountain side till the peak. The trail
passes through streams and creeks, gigantic fruit trees providing a natural
green canopy of leaves. Savour the fresh air and have a dip in the unpolluted
water of the numerous streams along the trail. Upon reaching the peak you will
be entertained to a spectacular view of the surrounding villages and Kuching
City. The chirping of insects and birds provide the natural symphony to
encourage you on to the challenge.
The trek down the
mountain can take the same route or a different route passing on the way, the
Memorial Centre and the Water fall and exiting at Kupuo Giang Bowang.
The climb is a
fitting challenge for the adventurous seeking to challenge nature at its best.
