The initial plan was to fly into Long Banga and then trek north to Bario which will take 5 days. Following this plan; Long Banga/Peluan to Pa Okan - 8hrs. Pa Okan to Lepor Zync - 8hrs. Lepor Zync to Long Dano- 7 hrs. Long Dano to Bario - 7hrs. All these info can be found in the internet. Luke Southwell also gave us a plan of taking 4 wheel drive all the way from Miri to Lio Matoh and then to Bario. We decided to fly into Long Banga and meet up with Noriani who is manning the aerodrome and see what happen from there. The rest of the story will be told on individual pics as you go along. A Garmin Maps60CSX tracks are also available from Lg Banga to Bario and interpolated with Google Earth.

Nice pictures thank you. I'm the native of Bakong of the lower Baram but reside in KL. Your photos reminded me of my many close friends from Bario who studied at Marudi Secondary School in the late 60s. Tell them about Mr Pritler. Thank you very much.

I'm from Long Banga (Philip's cousin). I'm amazed that you made it to Bario by yourselves. Great efforts. The story in photos is refreshing.
