Bakun Hydroelectricity Dam- 20.08.10

Another new experience, i have an opportunity to make a trip along Bakun road. What most interest me is the opportunity to visit the Bakun dam . Bakun Dam is located on the Balui river, a tributary or source of the Rajang River and some sixty KM west of Belaga. It is expected to generate 2,400 megawatts (MW) of electricity once completed. The Bakun Hydroelectric Dam is thesecond highest concrete facedrockfill dam inthe world.
Bakun dam is 207 metres high with a reservoir surface area of nearly 70,000hectares, about the size of Singapore. So much to share...

Long winding road to Bakun. But the view is just fantastic.

Long Urun 30km ahead. Just imagine travelling this unpaved gravel road.
