Have been reading 📖 / watching 👀 a lotsss about Royal Belum State Park 🌳🌳 of Gerik, Perak 🇲🇾 which covered by various main medias 📰📺📻, newspapers🗞📰, documentaries, articles📚📗📘📙, social media platforms 👨🏻💻👩🏻💻 etc.
SiennyLovesDrawing 👩🏻 is really amazed 😍🤩 with its beautiful greenery 🌳💚🌳 surrounding as she loves 💗 nature & really wish she can be there personally 💭
Guess what❓⁉️
Yeah‼️ Her dream comes true‼️😃😁
She recently got an exclusive opportunity to join a group of the other 19pax media members 👭👫👬 to enjoy a 2️⃣D1️⃣N houseboat stay trip 🎒🕶🧢👟at Casuarina@Temenggor1️⃣ ⛴ to Royal Belum Rainforest 🌳💚🌳
Yes✅ Yes✅ ~ Royal Belum 🌳🌳 , The World’s 🌍 Oldest Rainforest 💚💚~
The trip was started with a 5️⃣-hour++ coach 🚌🚍 trip from KL to Banding Island Jetty ⚓️ (Approximately 372km), Perak state of Malaysia 🇲🇾
Then, she was boarding from the jetty ⚓️ to Casuarina@Temenggor1️⃣ houseboat ⛴ for checked in with the group 👭👬👫 It was a late check-in though of 4️⃣pm. While the houseboat normal check-in time is 2️⃣pm
Got her room with her room mate👭, some of the facilities on board⛴,
- All rooms are twin sharing (some are available to connecting with next door), with cabinet 🚪, air conditioning 💨❄️, TV 📺 , kettle, towels, toiletries etc.
- Full board meals 🍽🍴of breakfast, lunch & dinner at open deck ⛴ dining area by the kitchen crews on board 👨🏻🍳👩🏻🍳

Then, a speed boat 🚤 transfer to Sungai Papan to visit the wet animals saltlicks ~ Sira Gajah. The guide 💁🏽♂️ has shared that saltlick is a mineral salt source for the animals/ herbivores especially to gain their energy 💪🏻👍🏻
The guide 💁🏽♂️ also shared that around 7️⃣am to 🔟am or 6️⃣pm to 7️⃣pm daily, possible to view some animals stopping by here if lucky 🍀
Sigh…No luck 🍀 for her & her group 👭👫👬 during their saltlick visit though…No animals❌🐘🐆🐅, but only the camera 📷 which being placed on a tree 🌳 to capture 📸 the animal visitsss to the saltlick 😔😌
Guess what❓⁉️
She has made a mistake 🤦🏻♀️ when 1️⃣st heard 👂🏻 from the guide💁🏽♂️, she thought it was salt lake, upon arrival she was wondering where was the lake❓⁉️ Ha…Ha…Saltlicks vs Salt lake 😝😜
Yeah‼️ Free 🆓 activities till 🍽🍴BBQ 🍢🍢 dinner to be ready & served then. Some of her friends 👬👭👫 were enjoyed reading 📖 / rest 😴💤 in room, some chit chatting 🗣👥👤👥, some fishing 🎣 …
While she felt so relax 😌 & just lay back on a beach chair at open deck ⛴ to enjoy the nice wind breeze & watch 👀 the peaceful beautiful 😍🤩 sunset 🌅 of the day
She had an early sleep 🛌😴💤 after dinner 🍽🍴after catching up 🗣👥👤👥 with her media friends 😊😄
An early 🔅🔆 wake up, breakfast 🍳☕️🍽 & had a speed boat 🚤 transfer to visit the Jahai tribal aka Kampung Orang Asli named Kampung Aman Damai, 1️⃣ of the Malaysian 🇲🇾 aboriginal tribe villages. They have just move to this new 🆕 place (still in the midst of construction 🔨🚧 ) from its old village for a new 🆕 planting ground 🌿🌱🌾
The villagers 👫👭👬 were all very shy ☺️ during our visit
After that, went for a jungle 🌳🌳 trekking 🚶🏻♀️🚶🏻♂️ to Sungai Ruok Waterfall 🏞💦💧/ Kelah Fish Sanctuary (aka Mahseer) 🐟🐟💦💧
Not to be missed‼️ She loves ❤️ the cool refreshing waterfall 🏞💦💧 swimming 🏊🏻♀️ with many many Kelah fish 🐟🐟 around 😉🤩 Ha…Ha…She actually was floating by wearing a life jacket 🎽 with her since she can’t swim ❎🏊🏻♀️ Don’t laugh 😂😆 at her ya
Special thanks 🙏🏻 to IG @hasifhamsyari 🙋🏽♂️for these 3️⃣️ nice captures 📸 at waterfall 🏞💦💧
Back to the houseboat ⛴ & proceed for bamboo rafting 🛶 fun‼️😄😆 Yeah‼️
Then, shower 🚿🛀🏻🧖🏻♀️ & packed luggages 🎒💼 for checked out 😀
Bye 👋🏻 bye 👋🏻 …Will surely be back‼️🤗
After checked out⛴, boat 🚤 transfer back to Jetty ⚓️ & coach 🚌🚍 journey to check-in Hotel Casuarina@Meru 🏢 for its Steamboat 🥘🍲 & Grill 🍢🍢set dinner 🍽🍴at its rooftop Executive Club (Available 7pm to 10.30pm)

Wow! I never knew that those really kind of existed. I mean, usually those kind of boats are usually owned by the filthy rich people. It sure looks like fun. Nature can’t stop amazing me with its magnificent rainforest and sceneries. I just hope there weren’t too much insects lurking around because that would be awful!

It’s obvious that you had a great time here. I have yet to take a bath in a waterfall. It would be an adventure to do that. We also tried fishing last summer but we were not lucky. Maybe next time. 😉
