Eco Nature Travel

Having worked in Shah Alam for about two years, I didn’t realize there’s an agriculture park until one of my friends invited me for a morning walk in the park. Probably I am not aggressive or appreciative on things around myself or the Government has not done enough in promoting this park….hehehe

Anyway, this park certainly worth a visit if you want to escape from the hustling and bustling city life. The entrance fees cost only Rm 2 (USD 0.50) per entry. It is not far from Kuala Lumpur, probably an hour drive from KL without traffic congestion. It is a rainforest park which you may find some of the plantation in Malaysia. It has a paddy field plantation, a fishing village and a tar road walk through the rainforest to the resthouse where you can see all the tropical trees along the way. However, the route is rather quiet but there is always people wondering the place to ensure the safety. As Malaysia is a hot and wet country, it has a lot of mosquitoes along the way especially after the rainy seasons. You can find mosquitoes welcoming you while trekking to the peak of the rest house. It is advisable that you wear long pants and long sleeves shirt to avoid donating blood to these “Blood Suckers”. Some of these mosquitoes could be Aedes Mosquitoes which could kill you! So, please get yourself prepare with appropriate outfit and never wear black shirt or pants as it attracts these “Blood Suckers” or make sure you have enough insect repellants to spray yourself along the way. Anyway, it takes only about 1hour trek for return trip up to the resthouse.

On top of the rest house, you may find the beauty of the rainforest jungle with the housing development around Shah Alam area. Sadly speaking, has anyone realized that the sky around us is not as blue as before? I remember the sky that I used to look up during my childhood is blue and clear. The sky in Italy and Spain or some other European countries is bluish and clear. I can’t forget the blue sky in the Vatican city, the sky seems to be coloured by the skyblue pencil colour and it just make the whole environment feel nice with the sunshine. What has happened to our blue sky? Is that due to pollution in the asian countries or the weather or the location????
