way back when...

Way back when I was 12, I remember going to this place with a bunch of church members. We went there early in the morning not expecting much. When we got off the van, we were thrilled when we saw all the trees seemingly reaching for the sky, roads winding upwards forming a never ending letter "s". I don't remember doing much there other than us, the bunch of kids renting a bike and cycling up and down. I could have sworn my legs feel like they were going to fall off but once you reach the high points and you get to cycle down, you'd think all the hard work was worth it. From the gush of wind cooling you off, to the speed you achieve even without paddling making you feel so vulnerable on your flimsy little bicycle, it was just so satisfying. Gosh, I want to go back there. I wonder how is it like now after all these years. Owh just so you know, I'm talking about BUKIT CAHAYA SRI ALAM AGRICULTURAL PARK . I know what you're thinking okay. Like it's such a family-ishy place. *rolls eyes* Well I guess I have to agree that it's really not everyone's cup of tea. I on the other hand absolutely love cycling up there. It can really make you appreciate the nature and all it's beauty. It will honestly put you in awe of the majestic qualities of mother nature. Owh did I mention that there is a four season house up there? So after all the cycling, you can go up there and enjoy the chill of winter, blooming grace of roses and bronze of the autumn all in one place. I'm not sure if they got summer. I don't remember. And come on, isn't Malaysia summer enough? haha. It's a pretty place for taking photos *hint* haha.. Owh and a reminder, bring your own food so you can have a very relaxing picnic. There's actually alot more other features which I don't remember. I looked it up though.



There..... and pictures too...


The world's first agro-forestry park is a scenic 1,258ha site that offers some of the most stunning tropical vegetation, interesting nature trails and lots more." There are so many things to see and do here that you need more than a day to do it justice.

There are many species of birds and animals that reside here. Among them are Kingfishers, Magpies, Peacocks, Squirrels and Monkeys. Though shy, these residents will not fail to amaze you with their day-to-day activities of food hunting and mating habits.

The best way to see what this huge Agricultural Park has to offer is by bicycle, which can be rented here. Cycling up and down the hills, passing through beautiful lakes that decorate the Park is an exhilarating experience itself.

As cars and motorbikes are not allowed in the Park (except for those who stay overnight in one of the chalets in the Park), many of its attractions are accessible by the in-house bus service and bicycles for hire. Food and beverage stalls are located in every Garden and rustic timber chalets provide accommodation in the Traditional and Cultural Villages, and the Rest House area. If you prefer the great outdoors, campsites with barbecue facilities are available at Camar Rimba.

OPERATING HOURS:
