Former schoolmates go on caving adventure in Perak's Lanno Valley

Travel illuminates one’s life and taking the road less journeyed while we are still able to do so is certainly a joy to the soul. Once again, this “aunty” became an unofficial travel guide when a group of my former school mates from Methodist Girls’ School in Ipoh, Perak came back for a festive occasion.

Nature-themed activities were my agenda. “Be prepared to get soiled or do not follow me,” was what I told these lovely ladies. Armed with enthusiasm, we drove 30 minutes down south from Ipoh to Simpang Pulai where Lanno Valley is located. Diverting into a small earthen path from the road leading to Cameron Highlands, we soon reached this hidden gem, which was only opened to the public in January 2023.
