Sedim River Recreatinal Park



The fast-flowing rapids at Sedim River Recreation Park, while not advisable for swimming, is ideal for white water rafting, kayaking or canoeing. For less strenuous activities bird-watching is recommended especially along one of the world’s longest 950m-long “Tree Top Walk”. The canopy walk promises visitors a breathtaking aerial view of the rapids which is about 50m below.

Gunung Keriang Recreational Park (Taman Rekreasi Gunung Keriang)
The Gunung Keriang Recreational Park, a natural habitat for hundreds of tree and plants species, is a great retreat from city life. It offers a wonderful panoramic view and activities like jungle trekking and camping. Gua Keriang (Keriang Cave) is also interesting to explore.
