Gunung Gading Escapade III

This will be the third and final part for my Gading trip report. I must say this was a very interesting trip as it was an eye opener by dear old mother nature.

During this particular trip, we say many types of plants and a few big and small jeepers creepers.As usual I will let all the photos do the talking.

Great photos ! I hope the place can be kept clean and natural. Hate to see people throw trash in such a setting.
