BORNEO HIGHLANDS RESORT

This resort is called Borneo Highland Resort which located 28 km from my Backyard or 15 minutes drive. Form Kuching city it will took about 1 hour 20 minutes. It was the first highland resort ever set up in Padawan / Penrissen. My first trip to Boeneo Highland Resort was in the year 2000. It was a scout foot expedition attend by more than 300 scouts from school around Padawan / Penrissen area. The distance from the foothill to the resort is 10 km. We were flag off around 0900 and managed to arrived at the top around noon.

For your information, the journey itself took us about 5 hours to complete due to steep  gradient of the road. The views at the top are magnificent. My first impression "WOW!". It got the natural lake. In fact we can see Kuching city from afar. 

The main attraction at the resort are the golf course, jungle tracking, nature retreat etc. You can have a day trip to Borneo Highland Resort by visiting the sales office located at RH Plaza. (I'm doing a free marketing for them because the place itself is worth to share with all the people)

Along the way from Kuching, one can see all the Bidayuh villages, pepper farm, padi plantation, fruit orchard (if you are lucky, there are fruitsellers selling their own fruit by the roadside at their kampung), oil plam plantation etc. 

You will pass my Backyard when you see the Borneo Highland Resort big signboard on your left saying "28 km to Borneo Highland Resort".
