Batu Selungun the Elephant Rock of Malaysia

Batu Selungun is the local name for this majestic Elephant Rock
situated at the mouth of Selungun River about 2.5km south of
Kampung Kuala Nyalau,which is another 90km by road from Bintulu,Sarawak.
Locals call it Batu Selungun,Lungun meaning coffin in Iban,
the green growth on top of it was once shape like one
until the front part was eroded.
Access to this rock is by boat or by treking along the beach from the village.
I think this is the only Natural Arch shape like an elephant in Malaysia.





It is nice to be there at low tide as you can easily move around the rock.

From this angle it look like a rhino.
