Part 1. The Trail 

With mere words, can I describe a jungle?  It’s green of course.  And this particular jungle boasts an extraordinary variety of species and unimagined shapes and sizes of trees, plants and ferns.  So many shades of green. 

The “karst forest” is a surprise.  Along the well maintained and comfortable boardwalk of Niah National Park, I “discover” a collection of tall “rocks” that are slowly being surrounded, choked, and obliterated by the jungle growth.  “Is this a formation of an abandoned fort?” I wondered.  “Or maybe an ancient temple?  A miniature Angkor Wat?”
