After a hearty lunch, trek for 2 ½ hours along the  Kalong River and spend the  night by the river side. Dinner is freshly caught fish  which your guide will catch from the river. The  Kalong River is  wide, clear and very clean where lot of fresh water fishes live like the yatib, baglaw  and  pait. Freshwater eels and shrimps also abound.
