Hey! Are you into ecotourism and adventure trip? Well, beginning of March, I joined #Back2Nature FAM Trip organized by Jabatan Perhutanan Negeri Sembilan.

#Back2Nature Series 1: Kenaboi State Park 4D3N Program Adventure Trip 

Well, for me, it’s the simple things in life which are the real ones after all. However, we often forget, we often take the beauty of nature for granted such as the sunshine, greenery, fresh air, and even the clouds. Because we see them so often, till one day they might be gone. This #Back2Nature adventure and camp trip reminded me that it’s the little things in life that matter. Be grateful!

We gathered at KL Sentral and then took the coach heading to Kenaboi State Park, Jelebu, Negeri Sembilan.

Day 2

We started our Day 2 with a more intense adventure. It's nonetheless than trekking to Jeram Berungut and experience the water confidence against the current. It was challenging too. Along the way, we stopped to release about 2000 fishes to the river to protect the ecosystem. The types of fishes that were released were Lampan Sungai and Terbol.

After spending hours exploring Jeram Berungut, we stopped over at the Survival Village to learn the tips and tricks how to survive in the jungle by using all items that we could find around us. At the same time, we also tasted some basic food that we can cook in the jungle. A good learning experience indeed to equip ourselves with survival knowledge because we might not know when we need it.

After that we trekked back to our campsite for lunch and then have some fun time and Water Tubing at Sungai Kenaboi. After dinner, there were supposed to be Forest Night activities but it was canceled due to heavy downpour so we head over to the Main Hall for a press conference with YBhg. Tuan Haji Saleh bin Awaludin, Pengarah Perhutanan Negeri Sembilan.

After breakfast, we packed and check out our campsite and then head over to Kampung Tohor, Orang Asli Village. Over there we learned about their culture such as wedding ceremony, traditional dance, music, and how to sumpit. Besides, they also showed us some of the herbs and their local food.

We stopped over at Lapau Makmok (means Warung Makmok) in Kampung Gagu for lunch and then adjourned to Muzium Adat Jelebu or Custom Museum to learn about the heritage and tradition of the Malaysian community. We had our tea-break at the museum, love the Satay Tulang Ayam, Ais Janda Pulang, and Apam Johol that they served.
