From all places that SiennyLovesDrawing ๐ฉ๐ปtravelled during her recent trip ๐๐ถ๐งข๐to Southern Malaysia ๐ฒ๐พ with all her writers gang๐ซ๐ญ๐ฌ, this homestay ๐ was her favourite โค๏ธ among allโ๐ป๐๐ป
Yeahโผ๏ธ Wetlands Sedili๐โผ๏ธ Itโs also called as Kampung Belukar Durian๐ Its name was given in conjunction with the discovery of a durian tree ๐ณ when Sedili Kecil residents ๐ฌ๐ญ๐ซ were explored the swamp forest area ๐ with aim for a new settlements๐
This homestay ๐ was 1 of the various implementation of development projects on rural tourism infrastructure facilities, the tourism economic projects & the human capital to locals based tourism by the Lembaga Kemajuan Johor Tenggara (KEJORA)๐ Itโs 1๏ธโฃ of the many destinations under the project developed by KEJORA along with Sedili locals ๐ซ๐ญ๐ฌ to introduce it to the nature lovers ๐ cum travelers๐๐งข๐๐ถ
Itโs a freshwater swamp forest ๐ which located at Sedili Kechil river๐ฆ๐ง, a riverine biodiversity in freshwater ๐ฆ๐ง ecosystems. This Sedili Kechil watershed definitely provides an excellent opportunity to conserve a relatively intact lowland tropical wetland forest ๐ ecosystem of its kinds in Peninsular Malaysia ๐ฒ๐พ
