Guys, anyone hungry can eat first.

This is the safest water filtration system in jungle but requires fingers skills.
.

The hut is fully booked !

A simple toilet is built here. Water is collected from the rain.

Hi Guys, a morning pciture before we starts our 2nd day mission.

A beautiful spider is with us

Early in the morning, 2 leeches already waiting to have their breakfast but today is not their day

Still not giving up ?

We started our Camp 4 mission at 8.30am and our brother is bringing a laptop with him.

A real tough challenge …….

We have to pass by many mossy areas like this.

Monkey Cup or Nepenthes are easily found at this level. This is Nepenthes Adnata, can be found in altitude of 600m to 1200m.

Different type or different species ? Yes, maybe Nepenthes becarriana ?

So quite here, I only hear the sound of insects.

Wild red plant.

Red leaf ? Mmmmm….. a bit strange.

Another type of Nepenthes ? But the shape is very special for this. Name is Nepenthes Lowii.
