24-Hour Outing to Kokol Haven - Part 2

Guests staying at the Sunrise Wing facing east have the advantage of enjoying the sunrise view the minute they get out from bed in the morning.

Morning walk and trekking was an optional activity. We chose to wander within the compound of Kokol Haven. Some among the group walked for quite a distance to reach the Kokol Cloudbase, a site further uphill where paragliding is available for the more adventurous.

Our program for Day 2 was a visit to the stingless bees farm after checking out from Kokol Haven. After that, we would stop for lunch at the Nyuk Pao Ngiu  Chapin Menggatal. 

On the way downhill to the farm, we stopped by the roadside fruit store which sells durians and fruits. That stop turned out to be another great time for the group to enjoy and feast a "whopping" amount of D123 species durians. My wife, being a durian lover would without hesitation consider this unscheduled stop to savour durians to be the best part of the trip!
***************************************************
Our stop at the House of Stingless Bee/Tantadan (Read here) was interesting and educational. For us who keep stingless bees at our backyard (Read here), we did learn some new information about the bees and the plants and flowers favoured by these bees. Another lesson on stingless bees: They can fly over a distance of 5Km from their bee hives to look for flowers and pollens!

Of course, the bee farm operator was extremely happy with our visit - their stocks of honey were practically all sold out!
**************************************************
Our plan to have ngui chap after the bee farm visit had to be abandoned because we were just too full with durians in our tummies!
