The ancient rainforest in Royal Belum, Perak was beckoning and once again my friends and I were drawn into the tapestry of a Malaysian adventure.

The journey from Ipoh city to the jetty of Banding Island, gateway into Royal Belum, was enriching. Pit stops were made at an orchard in Kampung Liman in Kati, Kuala Kangsar and the Lenggong Archaeological Museum.
