A tour around Chenderoh Lake
In September 2011, Nature Guide Keong accompanied a small group of Malaysian Nature Society members to the hydro dam Chenderoh in the state of Perak. Lake Chenderoh is a beautiful place and the surrounding area is steep in history, making it a one stop destination for a weekend visit.
A 3 days 2 nights trip, the group of less than 20pax stayed at Suka Suka resort, a beautiful family operated resort with rebuilt traditional Malay houses. Most of the houses come from around the state of Perak and they have been transplanted onto the property. With water frontage, the resort never fails to captivate visitors there.
During the trip, the group visited several attractions including the Lenggong archeological museum, lake tour, waterfall, markets as well as local industries Perkasam fish making and clay water pitchers (Labu Sayung).
