Kerling hot water spring

Last Monday I made a short trip to Tanjung Malim to spend the night at the main mosque there. Along the way I made stops. One of it is situated in a place called Kerling, somewhere between Tanjung Malim and Kuala Kubu Baru.

I have been to Kerling many times but it was only this time that I knew there is a hot spring there.

From the main road I saw a signboard pointing to a place called Kampung Air Panas. This could be literarily translated as village of the hot spring.

 

So I decided to follow the signboard before coming across those that clearly say there is a hot spring ahead. After  4-5 km veering from the main road I came across the designated place.

What is interesting is there is a clear wide enough stream running through the place...

The hot spring lies across the river.

As far as I could remember this is the first hot spring in Malaysia I saw so near to swimmable river...

You can enjoy the hot spring and then take a cool dip in the river or vice versa...

Sampling the merriness of IFTAR KL 2018

Peace be upon you all. Something from last weekend after more than a month's silence in this blogspot...

Saturday afternoon 2nd June 2018. Me and the wife went to Kuala Lumpur city centre for a function.

After parking at a certain spot we walked southwards alongside the small streets adjacent to Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman.

The city was rife with activity as people, mostly Malays and Muslims shop in preparation for the festive celebration of Aidil Fitri just about 2 weeks away...

We went on southwards to Dataran Merdeka...

Here is conducted the breaking fast function called IFTAR KL 2018.

 It is held twice weekly (Saturday and Sunday) over the Muslim fasting month of Ramadhan...

Non-Muslims, tourists and such can also partake of the free food as we waited for dusk whence come the time of Maghrib to break fast...
