Bush-whacking with a tracker-guided and chauffeur-driven Land Rover Defender from Kang Tours & Travel +6054915828 in the muddy rainforest near Gua Musang, hiking through dense jungle for hours, and finding eventually a beautiful red exemplar of the rare rafflesia flower (Rafflesia arnoldii) in full bloom, the world’s largest flower which gives off a smell of rotten meat to attract flies in order to carry its pollen to other rafflesias; many thanks (i) to our orang-asli native tracker Man (for teaching us field craft), (ii) to our orang-cina driver Spencer (for his superior driving skills) and (iii) to our orang-putih Czech friends Katarin & Petr (for being great buddies).
