I enjoyed my visit to The Tree Top Walk of Hutan Lipur Sungai Sedim, Kedah very much. Though getting there wasn’t easy, I would say that they trip was all worth it. The canopy walk was much more than what I have expected.
Entrance fee is RM10 for an adult and RM6 for children for a 925meters worth of nerve wrecking height among the trees. The structure used for the Tree Top Walk (TTW) in Sg Sedim is built onto the ground. Unlike the canopy walk in Taman Negara that is built between natural trees, this TTW gives me more confidence in terms of stability and built.
The Tree Top Walk in Sedim is built on artificial bases
The designs and built gives me the confidence
Yup…yup…I am afraid of heights. I admit it. The TTW in Sg Sedim is built using really huge metals, with railings and bolts at sizes I have never seen before. I honestly doubt if this is a local ‘Malaysian’ design. One gotta have the stomach to take in the heights and occasional ’swaying’.
A word of advice…go to the toilet and do what you need to do before you get onto the walkway. It’s almost a one kilometer walk and the height may actually make you freeze, so having to answer nature’s call while on the walkway isn’t a situation you want to be in!
There are signs such as these that helps to identify plants
Height is one thing and although the structures are built on a solid foundation, I still felt the walkway sway at certain span of the bridge. This happens whenever there is a strong wind and also when there are other walking heavily along. Its kind of scary at the beginning but you’ll get used to it after a while. Along the walkway, there are many labels and signs indicating how high you are from the ground. It seriously is very high, some places more than 10 meters.
I am glad I made the road trip to The Tree Top Walk at Sungai Sedim that weekend. I had a great time with my wife, my mom and aunt. Though there are many other things to do there but I think only the Tree Top Walk of Sungai Sedim is worth the while.
Wow, thanks for sharing, I have learned so much here on your site, thought I’d let you know your efforts are appreciated.
The Sungai Sedim Tree Top Walk is in the state of KEDAH and it is not in PERAK. If you are Malaysian, I feel sorry for you not knowing where were you during that visit but if you are a foreigner, please take note of the exact location of the Sungai Sedim Tree Top Walk.
Aiyoo…how can I make that mistake. Thanks dude.
Hi Nizum…thank you for pointing that out. I am local and it is a stupid error indeed. Thank you again for pointing it out to me.
Not to worry Keong. We do make blunders once a while
At least you have been there and made an effort to write about it. I hope Mohd Nizum has been there too 
I was there when it first open and my last visit was visit in 2007 when a friend came from the UK. It is a beautiful place indeed. I hope to re-visit this coming CNY and really hoping the road has been made wider – I remember having to reverse and stopped my 4X4 somewhere to give way for another car who won’t give in. lol
Hi Larra…thanks for your comment.
It is good to receive ‘constructive’ feedback on my blog and the information on it. I am after all human.
Yes, beautiful place indeed but I have to say, the place seems to be deteriorating very fast. Many don even know it exists!
…my plan CNY holiday with my fmly..
see u thereeee… x sabar nak pergii..
