1. media friends get ready for white water rafting

You may remember me writing about my adventure in Gopeng last year. Yes, Perak is huge and offers tourists many different vacations. Those who love nature adventures usually head to Gopeng.

2. water confidence training

Well, Gopeng now has another provider of adventure holidays: Razila Adventure & Resort. Also known as Kuala Razila Adventure Resort Riverside, it is located in Ulu Geroh at the foot of Titiwangsa main range, 7km from Gopeng town.

3. and the adventure begins…

This adventure resort, with chalets along the bank of Sungai Kampar (Kampar River), offers some of the best nature challenges for those seeking such thrills while on holiday.

4. white water rafting in Sungai Kampar, Gopeng

A group of media members and guests were hosted at Razila Adventure & Resort some weeks ago for a 2D/1N adventure. In this event that was organised by Kelab Sukan dan Kebajikan Media Perak (KSKMP), the first activity that participants indulged in was to trek up Bukit Batu Putih, a well known spot to witness the most glorious of sunsets. It wasn’t too tough, as it took merely 30 minutes to reach its peak.

5. bring it on!

The following morning, after a night’s rest in a traditional chalet by Sungai Kampar, the delegates had water adventures waiting for them: white water rafting and waterfall abseiling. Sounds extreme? You bet!

6. team work in progress

While I have been on a few white water rafting trips, waterfall abseiling is new to me. The waterfall, Ulu Geruntum, has a height of 20 metres. It takes an enthusiast much effort to climb up to the starting point.

7. participants overcome challenging rapids

Abseiling was no easier as the surface of the rock wall, with continuous water washing down, was slippery. Still, this didn’t stop the youngest delegate, at only ten years old, to overcome her fear and conquer Ulu Geruntum!

8. waterfall abseiling

By the way, participants of white water rafting are shuttled to the river (Sungai Kampar) by lorry. For many city folk, that in itself is an adventure! White water rafting is one of the most popular adventure activities in Gopeng. Other sports offered by Razila, which was established in 2012, are camping and water tubing, just to name a couple of them.

9. Certificate of Participation for all

Besides offering accommodation in bamboo chalets (Chalet Raflesia), there are two other types: European-style Chalet Dahlia and dormitory, all to suit the requirements of guests.

10. and the 2D/1N programme wraps up
