The usual eight-day rafting expedition down Sungai Pahang was reduced to five days but the over 1,000 adults and children were still able to feast their eyes on beautiful scenery as they traversed down the river and enjoyed traditional food and culture when they stopped overnight at selected villages.
Previously, the expedition took off from Sungai Jelai in Lipis, as this place is popularly known as the starting point of Sungai Pahang. But this year, the journey began at Lurah Semantan in Temerloh.
