RECENTLY, I took a five-hour drive (the extra hour was due to the traffic jam along the KL-Seremban Highway) from Kuala Lumpur to Bandar Muadzam Shah in Pahang, to visit a fascinating health retreat called Lucky Valley.
Situated just 5km from the town, the retreat is nestled amongst fruit orchards, vegetable plots and herb gardens, cultivated on what was previously virgin jungle, which still lines the perimeter of the land. The retreat was founded by a Taiwanese master who discovered that the energy in the area was unusually strong, and could be harnessed for health and healing.
