And now for today's shots in Bakun. As the first light of dawn broke after more than an hour ride from Atok, we embarked on our early morning trek to Mount Kabunian which was filled with excitement and anticipation. The air was crisp and cool with a hint of mist that covered the surrounding higher landscape.
We continued our journey by crossing a hanging bridge with its suspension creaking gently as we made our way across. The bridge swayed slightly beneath our feet offering a thrilling start to our adventure. As we reached the other side of the bridge we started our ascent up the mountains with the terrain growing steeper and more rugged with each step.
The trail wound its way up through dense grasses with towering trees and lush undergrowth closing in around us. We climbed over rocks and roots using our hands to scramble up steep sections where necessary.
The sound of birdsong filled the air accompanied by the rustle of leaves and snapping of twigs beneath our feet. As we gained elevation, the fog and clouds began to clear revealing breathtaking vistas of the surrounding mountains and valleys.
Our footsteps, the three of us and our local guide, echoed off the hillsides as we climbed on driven by a sense of wonder and discovery. The sun rose higher in the sky and casting a warm heat over the landscape and the path ahead.
With each step, we felt ourselves drawing closer to Mount Kabunian's majestic peak, our spirits lifted by the thrill of exploration and the promise of unforgettable views from the top. As we climbed higher, our senses came alive with the sights, sounds, and scents of this incredible wilderness area – an experience that would stay etched in our memories forever.
