Location : Dusun Tamong, Desa Tamong, Kecamatan Siding, Kabupaten Bengkayang, Kalimantan Barat, Indonesia.

The weather was perfect on the second day in Simpang Empat. After coming back from a short visit to Riam Kodu we quickly decided that we needed to go up to Tamong by ojek ride before the sky changed its mind. Weather could change very fast in the highlands.

When ojeks meet ojeks…..

Got Pak Nikolaus our host to organize 2 ojeks for us. Although reachable on foot, the elevation of 430m ASL and the hot sun would kill us. We had to disembark at several spots where the inclinations were too steep for the bikes. The sceneries were good.

She hiked all the way from Bumbung to Tamong

We headed straight to Pak Ginang the headman’s house. We had the first floor of his house all to ourselves. The village of Tamong comprised of 2 dusuns, Dusun Tamong and Dusun Buluh with a total of 140 households and 612 heads. The baruk was just next to where we stayed.
