Sukau Rainforest Lodge – A Spectacular Tour to mesmerizing Rainforest

When I visited Borneo, I must tell you that I entered this unique and huge island with a blank mind, without any expectations. Somewhere on my mind, I had a dream to spot an orangutan in the wild. I just decided to get there when I read an article about the adverse effect of the palm oil industry on the existence of these beautiful creatures, before it’s too late.

I decided to visit Sukau Rainforest Lodge and I just had a trip of a lifetime. Along with orangutans, I also spotted the rare Pygmy Elephants and other animals.

Wildlife Safari Experience

Trust me, I am not a morning person. But I still woke up early in the morning because gliding down the misty river was truly a magical experience. Our tour included boat safaris on electric boats to avoid noise pollution in the wilderness. We enjoyed two safaris at dawn and in the afternoon to improve the chances to find orangutans and other fauna species.

Our guide was very knowledgeable who told us about the wildlife we found. We spotted a herd of giant Pygmy elephants en-route the lodge.  We also spotted a huge crocodile, hornbills, proboscis monkey and finally, the orangutans (kings of the jungle). There were two orangutans and one was eating fruits from the tree and it was truly a dream come true.

We also spotted long-tailed macaques and birds. Witnessing this magical show was truly an emotional moment. Anyone can indulge in this activity as you just have to sit on the boat and witness the live show of wilderness.

If it’s not enough, you can also hit the jungles on a night cruise. I skipped it because I was overwhelmed seeing all the animals in daylight. But you can also see owls and other wildlife species at night you cannot find in daytime.

Resting at Sukau Rainforest Lodge

Sukau Rainforest Lodge is truly a special place you can visit from Sandakan to Sukau. It has good connectivity with raised walkways and is built of local hardwood. It is located on the banks of Kinabatangan River. The lodge is blended with the forest so well that you look at the trees all around when you look outside the window. It is just in the heart of the jungle.

Best Time to Visit Sabah

Overall, the best time to explore the wilderness of Sabah is from May to September. Most people all over the internet will suggest you skip monsoons. I visited Borneo in January 2020. Since it’s the rainy season over there, many people told me to skip this month. Luckily, I didn’t stop. It just rained for a few hours but it didn’t hinder my travel plan. In fact, we enjoyed the pleasant weather with gorgeous and vivid sunsets.

Our Memorable and Exciting Trip to Chitwan National Park in Nepal

We had heard a lot about Chitwan National Park that houses various species of animals, birds, and insects and especially, one-horned rhinoceros. We planned a family trip last weekend to the national park in Nepal. If you don’t want your trip to be spoiled by rain, be sure to plan your trip from October to March.

We boarded an AC bus at Gorakhpur, which is the closest city. We reached Kathmandu within 5 hours. You can also fly to Kathmandu and then take a cab from the airport. From Kathmandu, we took another bus to Pokhara and then to Chitwan. We canoed across the river named “Narayani '' towards the main jungle area.

At twilight, we spotted a variety of birds. We spotted kingfishers, cranes, egrets, and ospreys. It is truly a paradise for bird watchers. There was unruffled silence in our jungle cottage.

Early in the morning, we had breakfast and rushed to walk along the jungle with a guide. We have got some briefing about the rules of the jungle and how to maintain silence. Our guide told us to be alert. We started walking on the tracks and the guide introduced us to several riverine vegetation, medicinal plants, and Sal trees that covered the dense greens. We walked further and suddenly a rhino stood in front of the trek and then moved away. It was such a great experience.

The next day, we went on an elephant safari to get into the jungle. It is full of rich flora and fauna. It has over 150 Bengal tigers, several types of deer, leopards, sloth bears, monkeys, and antelope.

The mahout helped us to climb stairs and sit over the elephant’s back. We found a swamp deer playing along with us. There was a strong and pleasant smell of a jungle with lots of bushes, trees, and flowering plants.

After a tiring day of serving the tourists, elephants were seen sprinkling water and enjoying a bath in the afternoon. The mahout fed them all the time. We sat across the fireplace in the evening and enjoyed the chilly weather.

On Day 3, we hit the jungle again for a jeep safari. We spotted a mother rhino with a baby. Forest authorities are taking good care of wildlife here. We had a full view of the jungle in an open jeep. We saw peacocks that came and ran away. We were not that lucky to spot tigers there.

The next morning we had to check out and go back to our destination. We got into the canoe with our luggage and we reached our cars. Our adventurous journey finally came to an end but we took memories to last a lifetime from the jungle.
