The river Bernam from Sabak Bernam

OK. This is the jetty at the town of Sabak Bernam, the biggest urbanised area around this perimeter...



Like the one at Sungai Air Tawar, it is also used to cross the Bernam river.

However Sabak Bernam is located some 17 km further inland...

Exactly opposite across is a village called Kampung Kota in Perak. Once upon a time the district of Bernam was an independent state and Kampung Kota was the capital, that is before it was absorbed into Selangor.

A look towards the sea which should be about 30 km downriver. Compare with the pictures in The Bernam river from Sungai Air Tawar. For the record this is the 535th article in this blogspot.

Views from a tower at a mosque in Bernam

After looking at the Bernam river from Sungai Air Tawar I stopped at this mosque...

Seeing the stairs up its tower, I decided to climb up...

From the middle level one could already have a good look at the mosque...

A look towards the backyard at there's my wife and our small baby looking up...

A spiral staircase leads up to the top-most level...

Here's a look from the top...

The Bernam river from Sungai Air Tawar

In conjuction with a new series on a trip to Perak 28-30 May started at the blogspot CATATAN SI MERAH SILU, I will feature a number of places visited here. Come...:]

At a rural area called Sungai Air Tawar there is this jetty...

From here one could get a good look at some of the widest parts of the river Bernam.

For the record this river is the natural border between the states of Perak and Selangor.

Across lies the small town of Hutan Melintang which is in Perak.

Here's a look towards the river mouth which should be some 15 km from here. Compare the pictures with those from the old article Bernam river at Hutan Melintang..., taken from the opposite side...
