Introduction to Sungai Sedim

Sungai Sedim is a recreational forest about 30 km northeast of Kulim. The area is being developed into an extreme sports recreational centre with sporting activities such as whitewater rafting, kayaking, mountain bike, camping and tubing. Nature lovers and photography enthusiasts to Sungai Sedim will delight in the flora of the rainforest. A canopy walk has recently been constructed to offer visitors the opportunity to get closer to the trees.

Today I will take you on a walking exploration to simply appreciate the beauty of this place.

If you have not been to Sungai Sedim, it isn't very easy to locate. You need some patience to negotiate through long country paths, through rubber and fruit plantations before arriving there.For people who come to seek the solitude and be close to nature, Sungai Sedim is a good place to sit and simply enjoy the cold running water over your feet.

I hope that you will also have a chance to visit my lovely Sungai Sedim one day. Happy exploring!
