As mentioned in my previous post, I went on a Night Trail the first day I was in Miri, to experience the rainforest at night. It was a pretty good experience, as I got to see the nocturnal animals, namely the different kinds of frogs, lizards, even a blue bird. I also got to hear the jungle voices of the different creatures of the night.
The only things that marred my experience was that it was very dark. So dark that I could not even see my hand in front of my face! And because I did not bring along a flashlight, I had to stay close to our guide in order to see where he was going. Last thing I wanted was to be stranded in the jungle in the middle of the night!
The other things was that it started raining very heavily in the middle of our trek. So the guide had to quickly bring us out and let us go to the first rest pavilion to shelter us from the rain. Still the rain came down in torrents, and after about half an hour or so, the rain became a drizzle and we had to quickly make our way back to our accommodation before the rain started coming down again.
Having said that, it was a unique experience being out in the jungle at night. I would not mind doing it again, but the next time I do it I prefer to do it with someone by my side, and will definitely bring along a flashlight!
