The Bamboo Bridge (Kampung Benuk)

Another highlight of the Bidayuh village in Kampung Benuk is the Bamboo Bridge. Reminds me of the Canopy Walk. This is more challenging and more interesting than the Canopy Walk ;)

The initial part of the Bamboo Bridge. Still looks pretty okie ...

Underneath the bamboo bridge is the river..

Half way crossing the bridge, I noticed one white dog crossing the river below the bridge.. So, I pointed my camera at the doggy. Upon seeing this, the dog stopped and looked at me instead. (I guess the doggy was thinking.. "Apalah ni, tak pernah tengok anjing melintas sungai keh?")

This is the challenging part, located halfway of the bridge.. The narrow bamboo bridge..
*Hold Deep Breath.. Don't panic.. Stay Calm... * And most importantly, secure the camera :P If the camera drop down inside the river, then really jialat loh...

Anyone interested to take the challenge?
Winn Winn, did you run across this bamboo bridge in the past?
Carcar, are you interested?
It was fun though..

You know it would look more exciting if there was a raging river underneath.

Chen said...

SA,
errr...mmmm...
*thinking*
if that is the case, then you can stand aside and take video shots of those who are crossing the bridge.. Who knows, you might be lucky to take shots of someone who falls inside the river cos he shaking butts halfway on the bridge (refering to Ben).. LOL

The last time I went for canopy walk was several years back in Penang Hill. I dunno whether the place was still available or not.. Didn't go there for ages already..

Talking about bamboo reminds me of bamboo chicken ;) The traditional way of cooking the manok inside the bamboo..

may,
Hahahhaha... kill 2 birds with one stone hoh? and at the same time, we can take beautiful shots of you mandi inside there... might be u can mandi together with the dog(s) too ;)
