Tabing Hide
Bumbun Tabing
A raised wooden hide in the rainforest overlooking a salt lick, where you can spend the night waiting to see tapirs, wild boars, and deer that come to lick minerals. It is a patience-testing wildlife experience.
A bumbun, or wildlife hide, is a raised wooden hut built beside a clearing, with simple sleeping platforms, overlooking a salt lick where animals come to take in minerals. The Tabing Hide is about 1 to 1.5 hours' walk from the headquarters and is the most accessible one. You can observe wildlife during the day, or bring a sleeping bag and spend the night in the hide. Overnight stays must be registered at the headquarters and cost little. Observe quietly at night using a red-light torch. Seeing large animals depends on luck; the most common sightings are mouse deer, wild boars, and birds.
