PERAK, a newly discovered adventure destination! Besides being traditionally and more commonly known as the place where juicy pomelos, crunchy seedless guavas, smooth hor fun and aromatic white coffee origin… Today, it has become a hot spot for adventure enthusiasts!

Come on! Get on the river and get wet & wild with us on the white waters of Sungai Kampar! After that, you can gear up and abseil off the beautiful Ulu Geruntum waterfalls, amidst a natural jungle setting. Not enough?! Then get down and dirty in the large caverns of Gua Tempurung, trek through the platform sections and then into the dark depths of the cave… you crawl out half submerged in water, aided only by the light coming from your torch.

Other possible activities to add on to your adventure include a trek into Ulu Geroh in search of the world’s largest flower, the famed Rafflesia. Or perhaps, take a visit to Sungai Klah Hot Springs Park? En route, you can stop by to admire the 810m high, picturesque Lata Kinjang Waterfalls.

Whilst Sungai Kampar is not comparable to the high volume rivers of Nepal, it does offer a half day of adrenalin fix. With the ease of access from the NS Plus Highway and being only 26km south of Ipoh Town, this will be your next adventure destination!

All the necessary rafting gear is catered for. Each raft takes up to 6 people… and includes a trained and experienced river guide manning it. Non-swimmers need not fear getting their feet wet in this trip! Do note that rafting is all about getting wet and wild, so do avoid using heavy jeans, thick cotton trousers and track suits while rafting.

Come on now !Jump into the river with us; go paddling through wild waters amidst durian trees! This river thrill will be an enjoyable one-day getaway… clear waters, fresh air…and if the sun’s up… you’ll get a good tan to boot!

WHITE WATER RAFTING

Activity:

Take the plunge and go on this river adventure, and experience navigating down Sungai Kampar’s swift flowing waters using inflatable rafts. These modern commercial self-bailing rafts can withstand hitting against rocks as you travel down river. You will paddle through 10 rapids, along a 10km stretch of river. The river grade is subject to river water level, it can range from Class 1 to almost a Class 3 during high water, more common during the year end monsoon season. Prior to launching the rafts, you will go through a mandatory briefing session on rafting commands, drills and river safety practices.
