The
journey takes you past beautiful nipah palms, coconut plantations
and mangrove swamps. A unique feature of Bako is the way nature
has delightfully combined spectacular landscape of steep coastline
cliffs, weather-eroded rock formations and wave-beaten sea stacks
with abundant flora and fauna, wildlife and a thriving mangrove
swamp. It is a rare place that should please even the most demanding
photographer or wildlife and nature enthuasiast. Bako supports
several types of distinct vegetation - open shrubland and hardy
flora at the plateau of the hill range changing to lush and tall
rainforest trees and plants and lowland dipterocarp forest on
the slopes and finally to casuarina and mangrove trees along the
coast. It is also home to numerous species of birds, snakes and
animals such as the proboscis monkeys, long tailed macaques, wild
boars, sambar deers and monitor lizards. Sixteen well-demarcated
paths within the park can be followed without any difficulty or
fear of getting lost. |
