Nestled in the lush embrace of Malaysia’s Titiwangsa range, Kampung Beswok in Pos Yum, Sungai Siput, Perak is a hidden gem that feels like a dream plucked from the pages of a wanderlust magazine. Just a two-hour drive from Ipoh, this serene village is home to the Temiar Orang Asli.
My maiden journey to this village was a mix of excitement and trepidation, but as soon as I had my first glimpse of Beswok, all doubts went away.
