contacts. all sort of activities are available, camping (by the pond), chalet, fishing and cycling. Skytrek is located at this park as well. No charge on parking. Entrance for adult is RM3 and children, aged 6 -12, RM1. Fees include bus rides.

This is a much clearer map than the print-out ones given at the entrance.

The bus route only covers the right side of the map but not the fruit plantation on the left, which is another 2.5km, either by foot or bike.

The bus queue at 11am and bus frequency is low. The bus ride travels non-stop to the last station, "Cultural Village' and will make a U-turn from here and stops at each station on the way back.

While waiting for the bus, the kids excitedly watched how the colony of ants carried their loot back home.

Half of the crumb was stuffed into the hole. Unfortunately, the bus arrived and I was too exhausted to wait any longer and they didn't see the ending part.
