Coffee Breaks: Back To Nature

Have you been to Taman Negara ?

When the Teacher's Club decided on a team building session at the famous tropical forest of Malaysia, I felt grateful to be given a chance to visit this much-talked about forest sanctuary. Many have travelled from afar to peep at the place and what great an opportunity it was to be able to make a trip there. Now I can boast that I have been to the reserve and share the fun.

This National Park is located along the Main Range of Peninsula Malaysia and if you want to try be part of nature; go park yourself there for a couple of days. I should have planned for a family trip of this nature when the girls were younger for back then they would have been eager and excited at such an outing. But for now I am not too sure...they don't know what they are missing. Just maybe, if and when they do become parents , they might just do their family a great favour by visiting the place.

The teachers were excited though just to find out more about the place and for a time of bonding and getting to know one another better. It's to encourage the potential in individuals and to overcome fears of not being able to take the challenges.

Know your forest and our forest.

At the square, they exhibit the famous fish...Kelah Fish.

We went trudging and trekking a few kilometers along the forest; some parts have become secondary ones though a large part is still primary.

A bamboo species...

Trees of thousands of years with deep set buttress roots were a sight to behold and the guides told us that when you do get lost in the forest; go bang the roots and they will emit echoes...
