1. heading to Kuala Woh Recreational Forest
My trip to Kuala Woh Recreational Forest (Hutan Lipur Kuala Woh) is a continuation of my long standing list of waterfalls and natural recreational parks in Perak to visit.
2. turn this way
3. property layout plan
To give you a rough idea of its location, the park is along Jalan Pahang, that stretches from Tapah to Ringlet, Cameron Highlands. Turn right when you see Sekolah Kebangsaan Batu Tujuh (7th milestone) on your left. It is then a short drive to the entrance of the park.
4. Information Centre – closed during my visit on Sunday
5. camping ground
It was raining cats and dogs when I arrived, but it couldn’t be helped as Sunday was the only day I could pry myself away from my desk. Also, I had thought that after a night of rain, it would let up, but it did not. Anyway, the planned road trip had to go on.
6. chalet area
7. herbal garden
Kuala Woh Recreational Forest is said to be one of the more established and popular eco-parks in Perak. During my visit, members of Proton Club were there for team building. Yes, in the rain!
8. hot springs area
9. a boy enjoying the scenery, unfazed by the drizzle
There were a few families there as well for picnic but I guess it would be way more crowded if not for the wet weather.
10. this is the hot springs area
11. suspension bridge – maximum ten to cross at a time
Kuala Woh Recreational Forest may not be five-star but they are equipped with basic amenities. They have many signs in the park on the Dos and Don’ts. What are allowed include photography, camping, picnicking (and BBQ), swimming, trekking, nature studying and kayaking.
12. ferocious rapids
13. team building activities continue
On the other hand, visitors are not allowed to ride a motorcycle, fish, destroy the plants, start a campfire, cut tress, catch fauna, graffiti, and romancing.
14. changing room cubicles for men and women
15. Forestry Gallery – Kuala Woh Amenity Forest
Do take precaution when entering the river (Sungai Batang Padang) or hot springs. There is always a risk of contracting communicable diseases. Besides, stay alert for flash floods (kepala air) gushing down from the summit of the hills, which could cause drowning.
