4Day 3Night DVFC & Sungai Purut Camping

Picture
Picture
​For the more adventurous, our Sungai Purut Camping program takes you a step deeper into the interior of Danum Valley by combining time at the field center with a trek to one of the satellite outposts – Sungai Purut camp. Aside from the standard nature and wildlife observation surrounding the center, you will also get to experience sleeping deep in the Borneo rainforest. The trek to Sungai Purut on your second and third days is challenging but rewarding, as you hike through pristine jungle on the way to the camp, and finish off with a refreshing dip in the waterfall. This is an expedition-style adventure, you will be sleeping in basic stretcher hammocks at Sungai Purut camp, and your choice of accommodation at the center on your first and last nights.

Itinerary

​Day 1
Depart from DVFC office in Lahad Datu at 9.30am. Register at welcome center upon arrival and check-in after briefing by DVFC staff. Meet your guide, settle-in and enjoy lunch. After lunch, chat with your guide to plan your days at DVFC. Relax or take an afternoon siesta before going on a mid-afternoon walk in the area as an introduction to the Borneo rainforest. The area surrounding the center teems with wildlife and it is not unusual for you to spot resident orang utan, hornbills etc. Return to center before sundown and enjoy dinner at 7pm. After dinner, go on an included night walk with your guide or arrange for an optional 4x4 night drive.

After breakfast, prepare your pack and head out at 9am for the Sg Purut camp. The trek today is 8 kilometers through beautiful forests. This hike will take on average 4-6 hours, of which about 1 hour is uphill walking and half an hour before arriving at camp, you will cross a shallow stream to pick up the trail on the other side.

Today we will return to the center on the same trail. Depart from camp by 8am after breakfast, and explore the forest with your guide as you walk. Lunch upon arrival at the center. Take a dip at the Ulu Segama river before after lunch and take a siesta after your long morning hike. At mid-afternoon, take a short hike in the area in hope of spotting wildlife, and return to the center before sundown to watch the sky changes colour as the sun sets. After dinner, go on an included night walk with your guide or arrange for an optional 4x4 night drive (additional activity at your own expense).
