Frogging in Kubah National Park

1800 hours pick up from your hotel to Kubah National Park. Arrival Kubah National Park HQ, start walking up the Summit Road towards the frog pond. Along the way, be on the watch for frogs along the side of the road as well as nocturnal wildlife in the forest. The tiny Matang narrow mouth frog can sometimes be spotted at the side of the road amongst the pitcher plants.

The frogs deposit their eggs on the sides of the pitcher and the tadpoles live in the pitcher plant until they emerge as young frogs. Adult males are only 10.6-12.8 mm in size so vigilance is required. At the frog pond, search for frogs and listen to wonderful frog sounds. Stand in the middle of Borneo rainforest and listen to a living orchestra of wildlife. After your frogging experience, walk back to the park HQ and depart Kubah around 2200 hours returning to Kuching and your hotel.
