Kampung Sokmik

An early check-out at 7:30 we left in a thunderstorm which has started around 5am, to make the long drive north-east by-passing KL to Taman Negara which means national.park via the Elephant Santuary at Kuala Gandah - this is a centre run by the Department of Wildlife and National Parks and is the only centre that specialises in locating and translocating elephants to refer habitats away from mainly plantation area which have encroached on the Elephant habitats and which the elephants are destructive. We saw some resident elephants those rescued and unable to be returned back to the wild - this involved us feeding them and watching them take a bath in the river.. very touristy and not that informative. Then it was back on the bus for another 3 hours until we reached The National Park - where we needed to catch a boat across the river to get the resort.Læs mere
