On the way to Genting Highlands

Basically Genting Highlands is an enormous mountain resort with a well-known casino in Malaysia. There are few options for the tourists to visit there such as cab, bus or cable car. I think it would be a great experience to try the cable car. 

The view from the cable car

The cable car ride will take for around 15 minutes and it was quite foggy. Visitors could take the cable from Awana Sentral Cable Car Station and there is a self-service ticket machine, it is convenient and simple to operate. The cable car will take everyone to Sky Avenue directly. 

Skytropolis Funland has just opened in last December 2018. This is one of the place attracts a lot of tourists to come over. This could be a good place for parents to bring their children.

The Sky Casino is just located at the ground floor. Besides gamble, there are still activities can do inside such as hunting for food and shopping as there are a lot of retail shops are provided inside. It would be quite crowded during peak season such as school holidays and some festive seasons.

 Bye, see you till next time!

Sepilok Orang Utan Rehabilitation Centre, Sabah

One of the best spot and opportunity to see Orang Utan is at Sepilok Rehabilitation Centre in Sabah, it is located approximately 25km from Sandakan Town. There would be an information session that shown in a video form to let visitors know more information such as Orang Utan adoption options, operation system and it takes for around 30 minutes. Every visitor is required to pay for entrance fee of RM5 for Malaysian and RM30 for foreigners. 

The Sepilok Orang Utan Nursery

There is a new nursery that opened recently in the centre. Visitors can have a sit to see and enjoy those Orang Utan climb around the equipment, interact and play with each other and swing from ropes to ropes. Everyone can see their hilarious behaviours when they are playing around. 

                                         Obviously they are chilling under a sunny day. 

Feeding Time

Then, visitors can proceed to the feeding platform and wait for the Orang Utan. Then, the branches rustle and the ropes start to move after the rangers prepared the food. It would be an awesome sight when they slowly approach the feeding platform and the way they eat. The feeding platform is large enough to fit around 40 visitors and it feels free to move around to get great photos from different angles. By the way, visitors are required to keep silence and do not approach Orang Utan for fear of attack. 

The way to the feeding platform

Look how excited the Orang Utan was!

Overall, the price is affordable for everyone to visit this centre. It would be a great experience if you love nature and escape from the city.

Broga Hill

Broga Hill in Malaysia

Broga is a small town that is located approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour journey away from Kuala Lumpur. It has a quite popular climbing hill called Broga Hill that is quite familiar among locals. It is very suitable for everyone that want to escape from all the traffic jams and crowds. It would be a perfect journey and trip to get some fresh air and beautiful views in this countryside. 

View from the top of the mountain

I started to climb at around 5:30pm to catch up with the sunrise but people who just want to go for exercise preferably start to climb at 7am. It may be crowded during weekend. The journey up to the hill is not overly steep. 

                                                       The sky was getting brighter.

                                                       The first glimpse of sunrise.

After I reached up to the hill, there was already number of people at there and some of them are families, couples and even solo hikers. Everyone felt quite amazed and enthusiastic with the environment. 

                                               There you go a group photo with friends.

The sunrise was really worth for everyone to climb up to the peak but it also depends on everyday's weather. Before visit Broga Hill, visitors can check through Google and see whether it suits to climb on that day as sometimes it might be cloudy. 

The journey could take up to 45 minutes to reach the peak but it also depends on everyone's fitness level. Furthermore, please avoid to climb during raining day as it will be too muddy and slippery especially around the steepest sections. 

Essential Things to Bring Along

- Torchlight

- Water and some energy bars 

- Camera and handphone for the breathtaking views

- Money (RM3) for parking, toilet and climbing fee 

See you till next time, Broga Hill.

On my way up to the Cave temple, 272 steps

Furthermore, there would be monkeys on the way up the stairs. Those monkeys always go to the places where they find their food. There is a whole colony of monkeys living in the caves that visitors would always feed them. 

Inside the Batu Caves

It is an actual temple where Hindus congregate regularly despite being a major tourist attraction and there was another flight of stairs which led us to the sacred temple of Batu Caves. There was a gigantic cave opening right above the temple which allowed natural light to shine on it. It is really a remarkable sight.

Once reached the top, it is called Cathedral Cave or Temple Cave. When you see from the bottom, it just like a ceiling that also with a whole that leads up to the sky and jungle. 

Overall, the cave is amazing with all the gigantic and colourful Hindu god statues right outside the cave. It really worth to climb up the 272 steps to enjoy this impressive cave and view, it absolutely a good experience for visitors.
