The lodge officers simply told me that tour operators/individuals will usually make block bookings in order to secure places at Laban Rata or Gunting Lagadan, and the beds are usually taken up/fully reserved at both places as early as the SSL's telephone lines open at 9.00am! The telephones lines are always engaged and sometimes our calls are left ringing without no one attending to it. I guess it is just my luck! Hi,
