The Bekok dam

After we're done in JB we headed straight to the north using the main trunk road up to Air Hitam before taking the middle route towards Segamat where we found a junction leading to the Bekok dam.


Now, I've noticed the dam and its catchment area in maps since as far back as 25 years ago. But this is the first time I ever came near!



However the way inside is blocked by fences. After all it is a restricted area. Take note the previous picture was taken through a hole. Next we decide to walk along the fences heading for the reservoir...


As it turned out it is possible to get into the restricted area after the fences.





Well, the fences were actually built long enough to keep outsiders from coming into the restricted parts. It's just it was dry season then... the water was so low that it recedes no less than 30 metres from the end of the fence.
