Tanah Aina Farah Soraya

Before I tell you my experience there, let me share to you about this sanctuary:

"Tanah Aina Farah Soraya is a vast estate of unspoilt forest in Raub, Pahang, which is just one and a half drive from KL. It is metaphorically a PARADISE for the adventure seekers. The estate is located very deep in the jungles and it is accessible by 4 wheel drive vehicles. It was established so we can learn how to preserve nature. Farah Soraya provides a guide to lead your activities, such as jungle, waterfall and river treking, night-walking and flying fox. This jungle is equipped with luxurious chalets, dorms, tents and even toilets. Here, you will be served with a variety of food delights. Indeed, the experience in the jungle cannot be MISSED!!"

Two days ago, me and my family went on a family camp at Tanah Aina Farah Soraya. As we arrived at the car park, we took a ride on a gigantic off road vehicle through a bumpy ride to our destination. After our Zuhor prayer, we entered into our big tent. I was impressed to feel the coziness inside the tent. We also took a ride on the flying fox where we can have a stunning view of the river and the sanctuary. During the night, we participated the nightwalk activity. The background was very dark until we have to bring torchlights. On the 2nd day, we went on the jungle treking to the waterfall. I was shivering in the cold water. My father took an oppurtunity to try the Leap Of Faith where we jump from the platform to the water. Then, we spent our time by playing in the stony river. After that, we moved to a chalet which was more comfortable than the tents. Finally, on the final day, we went to the top of the hill to have a magnificent view of the hills and the clouds floating by. So far, although I got some small lumps created by midges, the experience was a best retreat for body, mind and soul.
