Last month we went to banding lakeside inn, a place where DH wanted to go. It's about 40km after Grik. Before reaching Grik for our lunch, we stop by Lenggong to see the Perak Man, at the Lenggong Archaeological Gallery.
at the entrance
one of the many items displayed
after lunch we check in to banding lakeside inn..lake view room
a much better view from our room.
Petang terus turun jeti for rafting activity. DH and Alia trying their hand at rafting.
the next morning we took a" ranforest lite" package to explore Belum.
Started our journey to look at rafflesia.
after 15 minutes of trekking/ panjat bukit sampai pun...tapi rafflesia dekat cerun bukit. Irfan tak confident nak panjat. i took this photo with one leg behind Irfan, just to make sure he didn't accidentally slip down.. gambar tak clear
masa nak turun DH has to teach Irfan where to put his foot as some places are quite steep and others are slippery, masa nak naik bukan main terer lagi.. as we were the first to go among 8 other boats, we were also the first to reach down and waited for all them before our next destination...
Kampung Chuweh.. a orang asli village in Temenggor with a population of 32
Alia with orang asli kids
some of them are quite camera shy
papa trying sumpit
view of our boat from the village.
next destination...sg enam base camp for waterfall
our second check point here.. we had our lunch here.. after 10 mins trekking from 1st check point. Jetty to first check point took about 20 mins. after lunch , another 10 mins trekking to the waterfall, with 3 streams to pass. this is the first experience for the kids in the jungle, alia was excited while Irfan was a bit apprehensive at first, but in the end he did enjoyed the trip.
going back... waiting for everybody else at the first check point
kepenatan...we started at 9 am from the hotel and reached our hotel again at 5pm...if this a lite package i cant imagine the real ones. sampai hotel mandi, solat, order room service and by 8pm i dah zzzzz.

Hello Ezlin, Holy Smoke! This place changed so much.
I used to travel Eat West h'way early '80s when there was a curfew after Grik and up to Jeli, Kelantan.
I travelled this road every month too.
And ya, I remember Lenggong, a sleepy village town long ago....and that tasik there. And now I can't recognized it.
Ezlin, thanks for the memories...Wow, I feel happy to see this place again too.
Have a nice weekend.
Lee.
Oh ya, if you not busy shopping for designer shoes or outfits, drop by, suggest you minum iced water first, ha ha.
Hi Uncle Lee,
As for me this is the first time I took this route. I've been to Lenggong about 8-9 years back once but it is still a sleepy village now. Glad you enjoyed reading the post.
Have a nice day,
Ezlin
