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
