Sg Klah Hot Spring Sungkai Perak

We decided to take the old trunk road back to KL exiting the Highway at Bidor from Ipoh. Do you know that the section of this road is now a 4 carriageway from there to Tanjung Malim. However the speed limit is 90km per hour. I do not mind cos I saved at least RM20 in toll charges.

Anyway we wanted to see the newly sprung up Hot Spring in Sungkai. It about 13.5km off the trunk road and I must say its well planned by Felda.We have been to Poring in KK, Tambun Ipoh and the Langkawi's but this place beats them all in term of its natural green being conserved. We get to encounter owl, chameleon, monitor lizard and gorgeous butterflies.

You have to pay an entrance fees of RM5 and RM3 per adult and child respectively. It very popular during the weekends. It would be a wonderful sight after an overnight drizzle as the sulphurous steam from the oozing hot spring bellows and misting. A boardwalk and spa hut is build alongside the meandering stream leading to the man made swimming pool.

The popular activity is egg boiling and the water is boiling hottt!!!!

There you must also try out the reflexology pebble path with hot water flowingunder your feet. Wow what a painful hot feeling. Do drink a lot of water to rinse and excrete the body's toxins.

In June 2006 you can stay in their new chalets which are now under construction together with a new cold pool. That will be just dandy. Maybe Janet would like to go when she back. KY enjoying a swinging time and was reluctant to leave.

You can also rent one of the private enclosure spa for RM25-50 per hour depending on the size. At the time of visit the 6 jacuzzis were fully occupied so I cannot test out the pool.
