Introduction of PangKor~~~~~~~
The coast of perak State, lies a cluster of fabulous islands with unquestionably some of the best coves and beaches on the western coast of peninsular Malaysia. The cluster of islands we refer to as Pulau Pangkor is made up of one major mountainous island with 3 smaller uninhabited islands. Among them two islands predominate in the terms of accessibility, infrastructure and development, the largest island Pulau PANGKOR and the smaller known as Pangkor Laut. It has a population of over 20,000. Pulau Pangkor is a mountainous island with a all weather paved ring road circumventing the Island. This Ring Road is 25 kilometers long, a heaven for mountain bikers though certain stretches are made precarious by on-coming traffic. The highest "peak" on the island is 800 feet. There is a mountain trail from Pasir Bogak beach to the Sungei Pinang Town. Pulau Pangkor welcomes visitors with its serene, golden beaches, crystalline blue water and cool, refreshing breezes. Located about 9Okm south-west of lpoh, it is largely inhabited by fisherfolk. They live in scattered fishing settlements along the coast especially on the eastern side, facing the town of Lumut and Teluk Batik, and their catch comprises mainly cuttle-fish and anchovy. The Pangkor island is famous for its 'ikan bilis' (anchovies) and squids. The real attraction here however are the enchanting beaches on the western coastline Pantai Puteri Dewi , Teluk Belanga, Teluk Nipah, and Teluk Cempedak are marvellous for swimming or just basking in the sun, in complete privacy admist tranqull surroundings.With its serene golden beaches, crystalline green water, vibrant tropical forests and cool refreshing breezes, Pangkor Island (Pulau Pangkor) remains a haven for those seeking to get away from the hustle and bustle of city life. It comes as no surprise that Pangkor Island (Pulau Pangkor) has for centuries been a welcome stopover for voyagers, pirates, and adventurers throughout history. Yet the island's natural wonders have remained unscarred, and her environment remains as tranquil and beautiful as ever.

What Is Sky-TreX~
skytrex
love out-doorsy activities and nature? well, you might wanna try out skytrex in Bukit Cerakah, Shah Alam.
what exactly is skytrex anyway? according to the mastermind behind it, it’s “jungle trekking up in the air”. i had the opportunity to try it out a few weeks back, and i gotta say it was an extremely great experience.
the “trek” is set up 3m to 17 meters high in the jungle, hence it requires a lot of guts and strength, both mental and physical. definitely not for the faint-hearted and lembiks. i definitely had a lot of fun “jumping” from tree to tree. for a second, it felt like in the movie set of george of the jungle. hehehe.
the path for the skytrex includes “flying” from one tree to another with flying fox and also “tarzan-ing”, crossing mediocre, netted and zigzag bridges and climbing over big net, all at 3m to 17 meters in the air. the “obstacles” ranges from easy, medium, difficult to very difficult. for those who are afraid/not gutsy enough/just plain tired, can skip those difficult ones using chicken exit. yeah for “chickens” only. hahaha. the whole trek takes averagely 2 hrs to complete.
i’m proud to say i had successfully went thru all of ‘em without using any chicken exits in 1.5hrs . *self-pat on the back *. but i am more proud of those who are literally afraid of heights (yeah it was slightly easier for yours truly since i’m not really afraid of heights), yet managed to overcome their fears and finished up the whole thing.
fear is good. it makes u become a better person. but dont let it cripple you
the fee is rm 35 per person and it is located in Taman Pertanian Malaysia aka Bukit Cerakah, Shah Alam
