Village kids greeted us on the way. Peace yo! Shalom!
The salt spring was an amazing gift for the highland tribes. You wonder how did salt water reach to a highland so far away from the sea. The Lun Bawangs believe it was by divine provision. The huge metal containers were filled with salty water from the 'well', simmered over wood fire till the water evaporated, and only the salt crystals were left behind. A painstaking task indeed. We bought Ba Kelalan salt back for souvenir. There were selling for RM12 per kg.
The 'well' of salty water. 
Yeh yeh... we tapau some salt water home. Holy water from holy grounds, anyone?
Many thanks to Cikgu Sang Sigar who shortened the trip by driving us right close to the salt spring. That saved us almost an hour of walking. 
It was a wonderful 4WD adventure on its own, crossing rivers and narrow gates, swerving around trees and bushes (maybe he did that on purpose to give us some extra thrills).
