2 Helen & Douglas House Borneo Jungle Challenge 29 th March 7 th April 2019 About Borneo The third largest island in the world, Borneo is divided between three countries with Borneo in the north of the island belonging to Malaysia, Brunei (on the north coast) being its own sovereign state, and Kalimantan in the south belonging to Indonesia. The island itself is encircled by Vietnam to the north-west, the Philippines to the north-east and Indonesia to the south. Malaysian Borneo (the north of the island) is separated from the Malaysian peninsular (to the west) by the South China Sea. Malaysian Borneo is separated into the states of Sabah and Sarawak. Sabah Our challenge is based in the state of Sabah, a land of incredible natural beauty and diversity. Rich green jungle, mangrove swamps, a striking blue ocean, paddy fields, dizzying craggy mountains and wonderful wildlife contribute to Sabah s popularity with visitors, not to mention the friendly and relaxed nature of the people here. Whilst the palm oil industry has caused international controversy as great quantities of rainforest have been cleared for palm oil production, there is still stunning wild rainforest to enjoy and opportunities to see proboscis monkeys, orang-utans and elephants, among other animals in the wild. Kinabalu National Park Kinabalu National Park was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2000 and considered one of the most important biological sites in the world due to the diverse species of plants and wildlife found here. Occupying some 754 square kilometres it has been designated as a centre of plant diversity for Southeast Asia. Kinabalu National Park is also home to the mighty Mount Kinabalu which towers above the park at 4,095m. This is one of the world s youngest mountains.
3 Trek Overview This five-day trek gives you an insight into Borneo s incredible natural beauty and biological diversity and a great opportunity to challenge yourself. Carrying your own kit each day gives you the opportunity to get off the beaten track as you trek through primary jungle and various other landscapes including paddy fields, rubber plantations, fruit orchards and rivers. If you re lucky you may encounter some of the local wildlife such as orangutans, proboscis monkeys, kingfishers, wild pig, deer, hawks, terapins and crocodiles amongst others. Along the way you ll learn jungle survival skills such as identifying edible fruits and foods and making traps, and get a deeper understanding about the complex ecosystem. What is the climate like? The climate in Borneo is hot, humid and wet all year round. It cannot be stressed enough that the distinction between wet and dry seasons is not very marked, and weather patterns and rainfall is unpredictable. Late March is slightly less rainy than other times of year (historically approx. 100mm rainfall per day) and you are likely to experience short sharp showers throughout the day, often in the middle of the afternoon. Temperatures historically reach up to 34 C during the day and drop to around 24 C at night although it may feel cooler at higher altitudes. The humidity is high, usually at least 90% every day. Please note: the temperatures and conditions given here are historically accurate but climate change can impact the seasons so you may experience uncharacteristic conditions during the trip which are out of our control. Should this happen the guide will assess the situation and make decisions to ensure the best enjoyment and ultimately safety of the group as a whole. What is the terrain like? The terrain varies greatly on this trek, from overgrown jungle paths to good open tracks and smaller paths. You can expect uneven and often slippery ground underfoot. There will be a number of steep ascents and long descents so you should arrive in Borneo fit and prepared. You must be prepared to climb over overgrown vegetation, tree roots and other jungle obstacles while carrying your own kit. The paths can be muddy and slippery after rain. Who accompanies us? You will be accompanied by first aid trained Englishspeaking guides who have an excellent knowledge of hiking, culture and nature in the region. You will also be accompanied by a team of local support staff, a Different Travel Company UK tour manager and Helen & Douglas House representative.
4 Where will we sleep? During the trek you will spend each night in jungle clearings set up as temporary camps, or small village community centres. In the jungle camps you will sleep on long bamboo platforms under tarpaulins. You need to bring a lightweight sleeping bag, sleeping bag liner (cotton or silk), sleeping mat and a mosquito net. What is the food like? Meals are cooked by your trek team and will comprise of various simple local dishes served with rice or noodles. Plates, mugs, cutlery and other equipment are provided for you and dietary requirements can be catered for if we are notified in advance. How tough is it? This tour is classified as challenging for someone of a good general level of fitness due to the hot, wet and humid climate, carrying your own gear each day (your backpack could weigh 12kg), the hilly, uneven and rough jungle terrain, basic accommodation and bathroom facilities. What about bathroom facilities? There are no showers so you should bring a pack of baby wipes for general hygiene. It may be possible to bathe in some of the streams near camp; if you do this you must use natural, bio-degradable products which will not contaminate the water (products from Lush.co.uk are great for this). Toilets will be dug into the ground at camp with a tarpaulin for privacy. If you need to use the toilet during the trek day you must inform the guides you are stopping and find a private area off the trail. You must never leave used toilet paper on the ground; this must be packed up into a nappy bag or sanitary disposal bag and carried to camp. How fit do I need to be? You need to be well prepared for this challenge. You should start training at least 6 months before departure to ensure your best chance of success and enjoyment on the challenge. Hill walking while carrying a heavy backpack should form a major part of your training as this will most closely replicate the actual trek, and be the best way to prepare your body for the numerous ascents and descents involved. Increasing your cardiovascular endurance and core and leg strength will benefit you greatly too so hill walking can be complemented with swimming, running, cycling, gym workouts, team sports, boot camps etc. You can download a number of free apps which will help you train and track your progress. E.g. MapMyWalk, couch to 5k, MyFitnessPal etc. If you attempt to complete the challenge without training it will make the trek unnecessarily difficult and may hinder your experience, and the experience of your team mates.
5 Is there an age limit? You must be at least 18 years old to participate on this trek unaccompanied. It may be possible for you to participate if you are 16 or 17 years old but you must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. There is no upper age limit. Will I receive advice on fitness training? In addition to supplying training tips, The Different Travel Company has a link with online personal training company Brightside Personal Training, who offer great value online training packages for those who may not have access to fitness advice tailored to their requirements: Try it out for just 1! Medical Declaration All participants must complete a medical declaration form upon registering, and any pre-existing conditions, medications used and other medical issues must be noted and (if relevant) confirmed by your GP. Any conditions that develop must be declared and a new medical form completed. Who can take part? The trek can be undertaken by anyone with a good level of fitness, who is healthy and determined. Please remember you are responsible for carrying your own kit. Adequate preparation, planning and training is important because the fitter you are the more you will enjoy this experience. An ideal candidate would be a hill walker, an open-minded person with a sense of adventure or someone who would like to take part in a life-changing fundraising experience in the beautiful landscape.
