All is go on second day kayaking on Sungai Perak. After breakfast, there is this busy silence of prepping kayaks & canoe, donning gear and packing on supplies going on.

I had the opportunity to witness and experience first hand some of the traditional ways of the Semelai people during one of my recent rainforest adventures. I have always been intrigued by how aborigines (Orang Asal) co-exist with the natural world around me.

Unlike the man made Tasik Kenyir in Terengganu, my experience at this natural freshwater lake gave me an insight to how life may have been hundred years ago.

We started our journey in the evening.
