Forest Research Institute Malaysia (FRIM)

This is the first time trekking at FRIM... and met up a funny new gang of people consists of 12 "olang"... really had a great time with them...

Arrive at FRIM about 9.00am... already found out a lots of joggers / trekkers / climbers / bikers around.... Really out of my surprise that this FRIM quite a popular place for natural and photographing lover... And this "FOREST" really big.... there are a lots of "TRAIL" for people like me to explore.. people like me is who?? "FIRST TIMER" lo...

Gathered around and while waiting for the guide (FRIM's staff)... our trekking journey start about 9.30am.. why do we need a guide? Since FRIM is a research institute, so the forest has many many different kind of trees or some other "things" that we don't know... A guide's task is to introduce and explain the forest to us... thanks to En. Wan... The journey ended 1.30pm...

Entrance Fee - RM1.00
Parking Fee - RM5.00

If you wish to save $, you can park outside and walk into FRIM.. so the parking will be FOC lo.. hehehe... Since this is first time and we dont know exactly how the FRIM is, we all parking inside lo... The most exciting part is the Canopy... no need go till Taman Negara also can experience the CANOPY WALK... 250 or 300 metres long and 30 metres heights... I been to Taman Negara - so the FRIM's one is "sap sap water".. hahaha

While trekking and enjoying the nature... I'm quite busy to practise my photography skill.. I'm not PRO but just like to snapping picture... using just a normal "dummy camera" .. nothing much function or skill can be test.. so just play around lo.... the below pictures took at the same place but with two different functions... ONE is using "auto" and SECOND is using "evergreen".. which one you prefer? no need using PHOTOSHOP to edit, nowadays camera can so some simple magic... hehehe...

Finally the CANOPY... the most interesting and be-waiting part.. hehe.... but RM5.00 consider OK or expensive ah?.. anyway, maintenance also will cost a lots.. not easy to build it and maintain it... I THINK SO....

Let's protect nature... dont spoilt it for our better future.. yeah... PEACE WORLD.. !!!
