Kenong Rimba Park

noreply@blogger.com (Kor Warga Kota) — Sat, 12 Sep 2009 21:01:00 +0000

Kenong Rimba Reserve is a rare find. Much of Malaysia's lowland forests have been or are in the midst of being cleared for urban development and palm oil plantations. However, there are several splotches of primary jungle that has been retained for the specific purpose of fauna and flora research.

Covering an area of 121 sq kilometres in the Kenong Valley, Kenong Rimba Park lies in the south-west of Taman Negara. Within the park are some magnificent limestone caves. The sense of tranquility and quiet solitude are broken only by the chirping of birds and the cascading waterfalls.

At Kenong Rimba Park, Pahang, you will be able to sight some unique and beautiful varieties of orchids that hang on to the bigger trees, drawing nourishment from them. You can also come across the tallest recorded tree of the tropical rainforest known as the Tualang in this park. Besides the profuse growth of the huge ficus tree, you can also get to see the pink and white water lilies growing in abundance.

Belum Forest Reserve

noreply@blogger.com (Kor Warga Kota) — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 19:55:00 +0000

Northern Peninsula Malaysia (Perak state), lies a vast area of virgin jungle known as the Belum Forest Reserve. The area is one of the largest untouched forest reserves in Peninsula Malaysia. The presence of large mammal species such as elephants, rhinoceroses, tapirs and tigers makes Belum very special.

This forest possesses an immense wealth of flora and fauna with much of the area still unexplored and undisturbed by humans.

Various tour operators now offer guided tours to certain areas of the reserve and will arrange for the necessary permits, river and road transport and accommodation, which may include camping.

The Royal Belum forest is located in the Gerik, Perak, area (Hulu Perak). It is believe that the forest reserve coverage is about 290,000 hectares and with more than 146,000 hectares of virgin forest. The forest is divided into two sections: the upper Belum area, which stretches to the Thai-Malaysian border covering 117,500 hectares of impenetrable jungle and the lower Belum mostly covered by Temenggor Lake. The State of Perak has decided to preserve the Belum and Temenggor forests as a permanent nature reserve for research.

Enjoy the beautiful scenery and the fiery sunset over Temenggor Lake and the ancient limestone hills believe to be 220 million years old. Some of the limestone islands at the southern reaches of the lake were once majestic rock cliffs dating back to 400 million years ago; before the Jurassic era. These are said to be among the oldest outcrops in Malaysia.

TUMBUHAN BERACUN DI MALAYSIA

noreply@blogger.com (Kor Warga Kota) — Tue, 28 Jul 2009 14:42:00 +0000

Peranan tumbuhan dalam perkembangan perubatan tradisi telah diakui selain daripada peranannya seperti sumber makanan, perhiasan, perobut dan sebahagainya. Perubatan tradisi telah pun sebati dengan masyarakat terutama generasi tua. Mereka ini lebih yakin kepada ubatan secara tradisi walaupun akhirnya ada diantara mereka yang menerima rawatan moden.Selain daripada tumbuhan yang digunakan sebagai ubatan, terdapat juga tumbuhan yang memudaratkan kesihatan manusia dan haiwan. Bukan semua tumbuhan yang terdapat di sini digunakan sebagai ubatan malah ada tumbuhan yang beracun. Tumbuhan beracun adalah tumbuhan-tumbuhan yang boleh menyebabkan kesakitan, mabuk atau kematian apabila kita memakan, meminum atau menyentuh bahagian-bahagian tertentu. Menurut Foray (1954) beliau mentafsirkan tumbuhan beracun sebagai tumbuhan yang menyebabkan kesihatan normal terganggu apabila bahagian-bahagian tertentu darinya digunakan oleh manusia atau haiwan yang dapat menerima kesannya.

Kingsburg ( 1967 ) pernah merekodkan lebih kurang 700 spesies tumbuhan yang beracun dan masih banyak lagi yang belum diketahui. Tumbuhan yang digolongkan ke dalam tumbuhan beracun terdiri daripada kumpulan rumpair, kulat, paku-pakis dan tumbuhan tinggi.

Di sini hanya beberapa spesies sahaja yang dipilih iaitu dikenali ramai dan sering digunakan untuk tujuan-tujuan tertentu.

TUMBUHAN BERACUN

Jelatang rusa
Kecumbung
Tuba luli
Andians toxicaria
Bebuta
Rengas
Bunga jepun
Pedendang gagak

Alocasia denudata Engl.
(Keladi Cendek)

Jus batang dan patiol sangat gatal dan menusukkan. Ubi ini tidak boleh di makan kerana gatal. Jika diambil ia menyebabkan mulut dan kerongkong menjadi gatal dan bengkak. Jus daripada ubinya digunakan sebagai ramuan untuk membuat racun. Tumbuhan ini didapati mengandungi sapopolin dan glikosid sianoganik.

Cnesmone javanica Miq.
(Jelatang Rusa)

Bahagian yang beracun adalah bulu-bulu halus yang terdapat diseluruh permukaan tumbuhan ini. Bulu ini sangat putih dan tajam di hujungnya. Ia mudah tanggal dari permukaan tumbuhan tersebut dan melekat pada kulit. Akarnya menyebabkan cirit-birit jika dimakan atau diminum air rebusnya. Bulu ini dapat mencucuk pada kulit yang lembut kecuali di tapak tangan dan tapak kaki. Kesannya menyebabkan gatal, pedih serta bengkak-bengkak pada kulit. Kulit kanak-kanak sangat sensitif terhadap bulu jelatang ini.

Beberapa genus dan spesis lain yang dipanggil jelatang seperti jelatang gajah, Laportea setimulans (Urticaceae), jelatang bulan, Spahaerostylis malaccensis (Euphorbiaceae), jelatang ular, Tragia (Euphorbiaceae). Jelatang gajah adalah jenis yang paling kuat kesannya. Bulu-bulu tumbuhan tersebut boleh menyebabkan kesakitan yang kuat kepada mangsa.

Datura fastuosa L.
(Kecumbung)

Bahagian utama yang memabukkan dari tumbuhan ini adalah bijinya. Datura fastuosa L. mengandungi semua bahan kimia kecuali glkosid siamosenik. Tetapi keseluruhan pokok ini adalah mabuk jika digunakan secara dalaman seperti memakannya. Asap dari pembakaran tumbuhan ini atau bijinya juga boleh memabukkan jika dihidu. Orang yang mabuk kecubung adalah berkeadaan seperti orang khayal, bercakap tidak menentu, mulut dan kerongkong menjadi kering, muka merah dan pandangan menjadi kabur. Jika dosnya berlebihan, ia boleh menyebabkan seseorang itu tidak sedar diri dan membawa maut.

Linostoma pauciflorum Griff
(Tuba luli)

Tumbuhan ini merupakan racun ikan atau tuba. Akar tumbuhan ini ditumbuk halus dan dimasukkan kedalam air. Ia digunakan untuk menuba ikan di tempat yang air tidak mengalir. Selepas kira-kira sejam, ikan-ikan yang mabuk timbul dengan bahagian perutnya keatas.

Keseluruhan tumbuhan ini beracun. Air rebusan akarnya dikatakan boleh menyebabkan sakit perut dan diikuti dengan cirit-birit. Kulit akarnya menyebabkan kepanasan pada kulit jika tersentuh. Akar tuba D. elliptica digunakan sebagai racun serangga kerana ia mengandungi sejenis bahan yang dipanggil sebagai "derrid".

Andiaris toxicaria
(Urticaceae)

Ia digunakan sebagai anak panah oleh masyarakat Borneo. Air rebusan akar boleh menyebabkan keguguran kepada wanita hamil jika diminumnya. Grehoff (1893) mengatakan ini boleh menyababkan sakit kepala, pitam, muntah, cirit-birit dan mati jika diminum air rebusnya. Ubinya memabukkan dan beracun bila dimakan.

Excoecaria agellocha L.
(Bebuta)

Getah putih yang keluar dari seluruh bahagian tumbuhan ini adalah beracun. Getah ini pedih dan panas menyebabkan kepanasan, pedih, bengkak dan pecah pada kulit jika tersentuh. Nama bebuta ini adalah berasal dari tindakannya yang boleh menyebabkan mata menjadi buta jika terkena getah pada mata. Jika diambil secara dalaman racun ini menyebabkan kepanasan usus dan kencing berdarah. (Gimlette, 1939).

Melanochyla fulvinervis Ding Hou
(Rengas)

Bahagian yang beracun pada tumbuhan ini adalah getahnya yang keluar dari bahagian batang atau dahan. Apabila ditakekkan batang tumbuhan ini, akan keluar getah yang jernih dan bertukar menjadi warna hitam. Kesannya menyebabkan kepanasan, bengkak dan melecur jika tersentuh pada kulit. Tetapi sesetengah orang tidak alergik kepada getah ini tidak akan mendapat sebarang kesan.

Theretia peruviana Schum (Bunga Jepun)

Keseluruhan pokok ini beracun terutamanya pada buah. Tumbuhan ini mempunyai bahan kimia seperti alkohid, saponin, tanin dan sebatian polifenolik serta glikosid sianogenik. Kematian pernah dilaporkan kerana memakan buahnya. Kesan yang dialami jika penggunaan secara dalaman adalah muntah, denyut nadi lemah, menggigil dan menyebabkan kematian. Sebiji buahnya sudah mencukupi untuk membunuh seorang manusia.

Trichosanthes wallichii Wight
(Pedendang gagak)

Bijihnya dikatakan mabuk. Penggunaan secara luaran tidak berbahaya. Kesan mabuk yang ditunjukkan adalah hilang keseimbangan badan, anak mata membesar dan seperti orang mabuk ganja. Biji ditumbuk halus untuk membuat ramuan racun yang bisa. Daun tumbuhan ini juga boleh menyebabkan keguguran. Bijihnya mempunyai bahan kimia seperti alkoloid, saponin, flavonoid dan glikosid sianogenik.

Rawatan

1. Jauhi dari tumbuh-tumbuhan tersebut. Buangkan duri atau sisa tumbuh-tumbuhan pada

kulit

2. Tanggalkan pakaian yang meliputi bahagian yang luka.

3. Basuh kawasan sentuhan dengan air dan sabun.

4. Jika masih terasa sakit dapatkan rawatan perubatan. Rawatan biasanya melibatkan

ubat sapuan jenis kortikosteroid dan ubat yang diambil secara oral iaitu antihistamin.

5. Kesan alahan dan fotodermatitis hanya wujud setelah beberapa hari, oleh itu cara terbaik

adalah dengan mengelak diri dari tumbuh-tumbuhan yang memudaratkan.

Cara Pencegahan

Mengenali tumbuh-tumbuhan yang berbahaya dan tidak berbahaya di sekitar kawasan rumah.
Jangan menanam tumbuh-tumbuhan yang diketahui beracun sebagai perhiasan rumah
Mengajar kanak-kanak tentang tumbuh-tumbuhan beracun yang terdapat di sekitar rumah dan di kawasan mereka sering bermain,.dan melarang mereka bermain dengan tumbuh-tumbuhan tersebut.
Jangan membakar tumbuh-tumbuhan beracun kerana asapnya mungkin berbahaya.

Gunung Chamah and Gunung Ulu Sepat

noreply@blogger.com (Kor Warga Kota) — Tue, 10 Mar 2009 03:42:00 +0000

This mountain is remote and unknown to many people. It is located in Belum Forest. Any Malaysians will know that Hutan Belum is still virgin, untouched by the outside world. If you are lost in this Hutan Belum, the nearest civilisation is 40 to 50 kilometers away and that's about 3 days of trek if you walked straight. There are only a handful of people that has sumitted this mountain.

There's abundant supply of flora, high in medicinal value. Aboriginal tribes, called Orang Asli still use this forest as a base for primary living. The only contact to the outside world is a 3 hours boat ride through Temenggur Lake (Tasik Temenggur).

Tasik Temenggur is formed when the government decide to built a dam on a Temenggur River in 1970s. As a result, the forest submerged in water to form the lake. Even now, we can see most of the dead tree coming out of the water, still standing proud. This lake has been a main transport system for the Orang Asli, linking Grik to Pos Kemar.

Gunung Chamah lies in the north-western corner of Kelantan and is the ﬁfth highest mountain in Peninsular Malaysia. It is one of the Peninsula's G7 (mountains above 7,000ft/2,134m). Gunung in Malay literally means mountains with an elevation of 1,000 m and above. In Peninsular Malaysia, there are several of these mountains located along the main mountain ranges called the Titiwangsa Range.

The distance between the starting point of trek to the summit is about 45 map square kilometers. The expedition has to be planned carefully. Only experienced guide is able to guide this whole expedition.

Today, jungle trekking and mountaineering is one of the most popular outdoor sports/activities in Malaysia. Thanks to the peace agreement made some 20 years ago, more and more Malaysian youths are opting for this activities as it will be more fun and adventuring as more species of flora and fauna are being discovered in the forest. It is most evident during the holiday seasons that most of the mountain tops in the Peninsular are jammed with hikers and trekkers. Preparations, training and bookings for permits and transport have to be done months ahead.

Gunung Chamah is one of the harder mountains, because of getting there (to the start of the trek) as well as the trek itself. However, it is also one of the best treks , as the place is rather untouched and beautiful. Be careful, as tigers still roam around the treks there.

Height: 2181 m (Fifth highest in Peninsular Malaysia)

Location: Hutan Belum, Perak

Foot: Pos Kemar, Perak

Duration (Ulu Kinta-Korbu-Ulu Kinta): 8 days

Expedition type: Heavyweight backpacking

Camping Safety

noreply@blogger.com (Kor Warga Kota) — Tue, 03 Mar 2009 07:25:00 +0000

Here are some helpful tips and information so that you will be well prepared for your camping trip.

Plan your trip so that you arrive at your actual campsite with enough daylight left to check over the entire campsite and to set-up camp.
Be sure to check the site thoroughly for glass, sharp objects, branches that could fall or are hung low.
Check the contour of the land and look for potential trouble due to rain. Check for areas that could flood or become extremely muddy and cause problems.
Look for level with enough room to spread out all your camping gear.
Look for a site that has trees or shrubs on the side of the prevailing winds. This will help block the wind if it should gust or get quite strong.
Check for potential hazards at the campsite such as: poison ivy, bees, ants, sharp objects and other dangerous areas.
Fire is of prime concern at the campsite. Be sure you have an area for a fire that cannot spread laterally or vertically. When ever a fire is lit at the campsite be sure that someone is assigned to watch it at all times. Keep water nearby for emergencies. Be sure that when you put the fire out you use water and soil and be certain that the fire is completely out, cool to the touch. Embers buried within the pile of ashes have a tendency to reignite later.
Keep your campsite fires to an absolute minimum at all times.
Dispose of all trash properly in the proper recycling bins if available.
Return the campsite to its original condition for the next camper if you disturb it in any way.
Don't forget your good recycling habits on vacation. They are just as important camping as they are at home.
RV campers should be extremely careful to travel on proper roads within the site so as not to get stuck. Not all roads within the site are made for an R.V.
Check your R.V. before leaving home, on route, at the campsite upon arrival and before departure for any damage, repairs or maintenance problems.
Make sure everyone in the R.V. is using seat belts whenever possible. That includes passengers as well.
Your holding tanks should be using non-toxic chemicals at all times.

GUIDELINES FOR A SAFE & FUN CAMPING VACATION

Safety Outdoors

Keep first aid supplies and emergency telephone numbers accessible at all times.
Know where the nearest telephone or ranger station is located and if possible, carry a cell phone.
Dress children in several layers of clothing. The inner layer should be a breathable, synthetic material that pulls moisture from the skin.
Remember, a child’s body temperature changes faster than adults.
Check the weather forecast before you leave.
Pack essentials, such as flashlights, extra food, water, and rain gear in case of bad weather.
Make sure sleeping bags are clean, warm and dry.
Inform others where you are camping and when you’ll return.
Teach kids these skills and how to be safe and responsible in the outdoors.

Kenong Rimba Park

noreply@blogger.com (Kor Warga Kota) — Tue, 24 Feb 2009 08:35:00 +0000

An unspoilt tropical forest havens, Kenong Rimba Park nestled amidst the lustful green vegetation offers spectacular adventures for agro and eco-tourism.

The second one, the jungle has slept for 100 million years, undisturbed by the ice-age which covered the northern hemisphere. Here is where the flora and fauna has the opportunity to evolve into exotic and unique species.

Many travellers interested in experiencing the wonders of the rainforest jungle are realising the importance of this relatively untouched, intriguing piece of jungle land possibly with much help from the Lonely Planet, Rough Guide etc. It is not difficult to imagine why. This relatively small (about 128km sq) but significant reserve park shares its northern border with Taman Negara. Thankfully, facilities are kept as basic as possible so that visitors can truly sink into a bit of roughing out at the campsites. There are only 4 basic chalets (2 to each chalet) and a longhouse that can accommodate 60 persons. Water is supplied from nearby streams and there is no electricity supply.

Kenong Rimba Park boasts a complex network of caves, each with its own unique geological formation and fascinating legend. The most captivating is none other than the Gua Batu Tinggi, the habitat of a variety of wild orchids. Some of the more notable caves are Gua Batu Tangga, Gua Batu Tangkup and Gua Batu Telahup.

Each limestone cave is situated about half an hour's trek from each other. The most striking is the Gua Batu Tinggi, which resembles a dug-out boat. The Sungai Kenong River passes though this cave. Local folklore has it that the cave was formed when a boat carrying the King’s messenger from Pekan was turned into stone. This cave is approximately 122 to 152 metres above sea level. Here you can find a variety of plant life that includes orchids, fig trees and epiphytes.

KUBAH NATIONAL PARK & Matang Wildlife Centre

noreply@blogger.com (Kor Warga Kota) — Thu, 31 Jul 2008 12:16:00 +0000

Approximately 20 kilometers west of Kuching is the Kubah National Park. It is dominated by sandstone plateau and covers an area of 2,230 hectares. The Matang Range formed a scenic backdrop at the park which includes three mountains-Mount Serapi, Mount Selang and Mount Sendok that can be seen clearly from Kuching.

The Park is a Mixed Dipterocarp forest and has one of Borneo's widest selections of palms and orchids.Kubah National Park offers four trails and one of it leads to Gunung Serapi. Trekking Gunung Serapi is fun and looks easy because of the tarred road but can be quite challenging as the return trip takes about 5 to 6 hours. On top of the mountain is the telecommunication Tower, which is a restricted area.

The waterfall could be reached in about 2 hours using the Waterfall Trail which is the most popular trail. Ulu Raya trail leads to Matang Wildlife Centre and takes about 3 to 4 hours, Selang Trail offers a good view of Matang and the Santubong peninsula.

The dipterocarp forest, interspersed with patches of scrub and kerangas, is also home to a variety of wildlife which include bearded pigs, mouse deer, squirrels, black hornbill, amphibians and reptiles. Chances of seeing the animals are quite slim here as compared to Bako National Park, as the animals tend to hide deep in the forest.

The Matang Wildlife Centre as an alternative, which is very much a part of Kubah National Park. The centre houses the endangered wildlife such as Sambar Deer, Crocodiles, Sun Bears, Civets and Bear Cats. The major attraction are the Orang utans, which are orphaned or rescued from captivity.

The animals are kept in large enclosures. There are also three aviaries for Hornbills, Sea Eagles and a host of other indigenous birds. The best time to visit the centre is during it's feeding time.

There are four trails at Matang Widlife Centre. The Sungai Rayu trail will lead to Kubah National Park. Visitors who want to go to the waterfalls can try the Sungai Senduk or Sungai Buluh trail. Along the Pitcher Trail, visitors will be able to spot pitcher plants scattered all over the forest floor.

All the jungle trails meander through the cool forest and provide opportunities to observe the rich variety of plant life. The picturesque waterfalls provide perfect spots for picnics and cool refreshing dips after the energetic walks through the forest.

How To Get There?

Destination Guide Cameron Highland

noreply@blogger.com (Kor Warga Kota) — Thu, 17 Jul 2008 14:38:00 +0000

Getting To Cameron Highlands

The only way to get to Cameron Highlands is by road. Until a few years back, you could only get to Cameron Highlands from the south via Tapah but since the opening of the new Simpang Pulai road, traveling to the highlands has become much more easier from the north. You can also get here from the east coast via Gua Musang in Kelantan but take note that this road has yet to be gazetted by the authorities.

Self drive

From the South via Tapah

Cameron Highlands is about 300kms from Kuala Lumpur and it takes less than 3.5 hours to get here via the North-South Expressway (NSE). If you are driving from Kuala Lumpur, get find your way to the NSE by following the sign to Ipoh. Once you're on the expressway, keep on driving north until you reach Tapah which will take about 1.5 hours. Watch out for the sign that indicates the Tapah and Cameron Highlands exit (Exit 132). Once you have passed the toll booth, turn left at the traffic lights. From here onwards you will be on the long winding road to Cameron Highlands which is about 60 km's away. If you're driving from the north just take Exit 132 at Tapah and follow the same direction. It takes an average of 1.5 hours to reach Tanah Rata from Tapah.

Driving Tips :
The road from Tapah to Cameron Highlands is narrow and has a lot of sharp bends. If you have passengers who get motion sickness, its time to get those plastic bags out (just in case).
The roads have been upgraded recently so the drive up can be quite pleasant. There will be lots of heavy vehicles going up and down this road so be careful especially when you are overtaking. Most local heavy vehicles will give you the signal to overtake when its save so be patient. Its also common courtesy to let the vehicle behind you overtake you if you're driving slower that vehicle.

From the north via Simpang Pulai / Ipoh
Now that the new road from Simpang Pulai is open, more people are traveling to the highlands via this route. The road condition is much better here than the Tapah route and it only takes about 45 minutes to get to Kampung Raja from Simpang Pulai.
Take Exit 137 (Simpang Pulai) and turn right at the traffic light right after the toll booth. Turn right again at the next traffic light about 200 metres away. You are now on the way to Cameron Highlands. Eventually you will see signs to Kampung Raja or Cameron Highlands along the way. After about 1 hour, you will reach the Kampung Raja junction where you will have to turn right from the new road into Kampung Raja town. You're now in Cameron Highlands and you can just follow the main road to your destination. Brinchang & Tanah Rata is about 25-30kms from here.

Driving Tips :
Driving up this road is definitely a pleasant experience because it gives you some great views of mountains. Since the roads are less winding, people tend to speed here but watch out for the sharp bends at some stretches. There is NO mobile coverage along this road.

Gunung Santubong Kuching Sarawak

noreply@blogger.com (Kor Warga Kota) — Thu, 12 Jun 2008 13:18:00 +0000

Peak Of Mt. Santubong

Gunung Santubong is located in the northern coastal area of Kuching, only 20 minutes driving distance. Hill Dipterocarp forest is covering almost the whole area. There are a few beautiful waterfalls can be found here. This is the great place for wildlife photography and hiking!

The Santubong jungle trail is maintained by the Holiday Inn resorts but open to all. The trail branches out into the mountain trek where a trekker can climb Mount Santubong (810m) in about six hours.

The jungle trail itself is a one to two hours trek, depending on pace. I would recommend applying insect repellent except that it seemed to attract more mosquitoes instead (this observation is verified by a local guide). The jungle is dense but the trail is well-marked (look for the blue markings at the tree barks; red is for mountain trekkers).

Gunung Santubong
(Mount Santubong) - the summit is around 2658 feet above the sea level.

The top of Mt. Santubong. The coldest and the wind that breezes the skin. The most fancinating view on top of the mountain. Feel the fresh air. Feels like king.

Bako National Park Sarawak

noreply@blogger.com (Kor Warga Kota) — Wed, 04 Jun 2008 02:34:00 +0000

Bako's main attraction is its plants diversity. Vegetation types range from lowland dipterocarp forests to almost desert-like scrub ("padang") on the upper plateau. Amongst this plant life are the strange carnivorous plants (pitcher plants, sundews, bladderworts).

Bako's mangrove forest is home to the rare proboscis monkey, found only in Borneo. Because Bako's wildlife is totally protected, it has grown used to people and some species like the long-tailed macaques, silver leaf monkeys, monitor lizards and bearded pigs can be easily seen.

For a start the wooden chalets and resthouses are surrounded by virgin jungle, and what’s more, wildlife is everywhere.Almost every type of vegetation in Borneo is found here - 25 distinct types of vegetation form seven complete ecosystems from beach vegetation and mangrove forest to dipterocarp rainforest.

The constant erosion over millions of years, had turned Bako into a picturesque coastline of steep cliffs, rocky head-lands and many stretches of sandy bays. The erosion caused by constant waves at the base of cliffs had carved and created many of the rocks into sea arches and sea stacks. Beautiful sandstone formation featuring pink and iron patterns on cliff faces can be seen along most of the coastline. Bako National Park is truly an ideal place for nature lovers and eco-minded adventurers.

There is a nominal entry fee for all National Parks in Sarawak. Photo permits are also required. Check with the National Parks and Wildlife Office in Kuching or the Sarawak Tourism Board for the latest fee structure. Day trippers to Bako can obtain a permit and pay any fees at the boat jetty in Kampung Bako.

Jungle Trekking is an activity for the whole family but can also be challenging especially on the more difficult trails. If possible, choose your route to suit your fitness level. The jungles of Sarawak hide creatures yet to be recorded in the science books and who knows, you may be the one to discover them?

Locations:

- Bako National Park
- Kubah National Park
- Lambir National Park
- Mount Santubong
- Mulu National Park
- Niah National Park
- Similajau National Park.

Gunung Datuk Rembau, Negeri Sembilan.

noreply@blogger.com (Kor Warga Kota) — Mon, 02 Jun 2008 07:09:00 +0000

The trail is really straightforward as there's one clear path leading all the way to the peak. It's well-trodden and pretty wide, so trekkers should not get lost nor get tangled with thorny plants. Along the way, there's a patch of yam plants where the leaves stand out from among the common jungle tropical flora.

At 900m, Gunung Datuk is considered a short mountain and the hike up to the summit takes about 2-3 hours. The summit offers a splendid full 360 degree unobstructed panorama view of the entire state.

The summit was fantastic! The summit was like a 10 minuted climb from the campsite, and there were already ladders and ropes to assist us up the boulders. The setting sun and the nightsky was fantastic, and so was the sunrise!

August 1, 2003, the District Office of Rembau has given authority to the Kampung people to collect fees to maintain the chalets and cleanliness of the area. Among the items and sevices that they charge included that of chalets, guidesm canopy rental, chairs, rubber tapping, trekking permit, issuance of trekking certificate, and P.A. system.
The only fees we are aware of are:
Trekking Permit RM1.00 per person
PermitCamp Site RM3.00 per tent

Templer's Park Waterfalls

noreply@blogger.com (Kor Warga Kota) — Mon, 02 Jun 2008 06:56:00 +0000

This waterfall set the backdrop of a beautiful picnic and camping spot. The basin where the track lies, was fairly flat and broad. About 30-40 meters wide and a meandering trail just on the bank left bank of the river all the way to the waterfall.

Located 22 kms north of Kuala Lumpur lies a lush green forest called Templer Park. A natural swimming pool is found at the foot of the trail into the park. Take a dip in the cool waters of the pool if you dare! Changing rooms are located nearby. Otherwise trek 45 mins into the forest where the trail runs beside a gurgling stream. Along the trail look out for various flora, butterflies and birds. At the end of the walk a waterfall greets your slight.

There were lots of suitable spots at the each bend of the river. These are more suitable as picnic area. For experienced campers, water level tends to rise quickly if it is raining some where upstream. But judging from the watermarks left behind and knowing that river drains a series of low hills, flash flood if any will not rise to any dramatic level.

Visit the waterfall on weekends when there is a crowd, otherwise the trekking in seems so lonely. As for the swimming pool, knowing the Malaysian crowd, I would advise to try it out on week days.

Mountain Climbing Tips In Malaysia

noreply@blogger.com (Kor Warga Kota) — Fri, 16 May 2008 07:11:00 +0000

While many mountains, especiallythose located in the national parks, have overnight camping facilities and provide some equipment for rental, it is always wise to plan ahead and make enquiries for bookings, weather conditions and other current information. Some remote or protected sites may even require special permits from the authorities.

It is best to hire a guide for the trip, unless the trail is well marked. Besides guiding you to the best campsites and rest spots, local guides know the natural history and folklore of the area and are invaluable when plans change and alternative routes need to be taken.

The exertion of carrying a heavy pack is compounded by the altitude, so it is always best to choose to climb mountains within your ability. Do not overload yourself with camping equipment. As a rough guide, the weight of your pack should not be more than a quarter of your body weight, the lighter the better for longer journeys.

Clothing and Equipment Advisory

* Comfortable long-sleeved shirts and pants for protection from leech bites, abrasions and the elements.

* A hat with a wide brim against intense sunshine and light rain.

* A poncho or rain cape.

* A pair of gloves and a balaclava will help protect you from cold summit winds.

* Wear roomy lightweight jungle boots with good ankle supports and a deep-ridged sole, and wear two pairs of socks to prevent blisters.

* A comfortable rucksack with padded shoulder straps, hip belt and internal frame is a must.

* A map and compass for navigating jungle trails; under some dense jungle canopies the sun might not be clearly seen.

* A whistle is a useful tool for attracting attention and signa ling others.

* A basic first aid kit for the treatment of abrasions, insect bites and wounds.

* Extra batteries for your torchlight; candles and matches.
