The road to Ulu Slim and beyond

Continuing from Sayong river mouth.

From Sayong I took the inland road which practically runs along the Perak river on to Parit followed by Bota Kanan, Lambor Kanan and Kampung Gajah before veering towards the old trunk road to Kuala Lumpur. After the town of Slim River I decided to check the inland road to Ulu Slim.

As far as I could remember this is the first time I ever took this road.

And so this is the first time I arrived at Ulu Slim.

But I found out the road could lead much further inland as its goes northwards along the main mountain range of Banjaran Titiwangsa on to some Orang Asli or Aborigine's settlements.

It was just that soon it was dark. So I decided to stop at a spot about 8 km north of Ulu Slim and take a dip at the river there before turning back to return home. For the record this is the 2,211th article in this blogspot.

Sayong river mouth

Continuing from Perak river from Sayong.

For the actual Sayong river though I have to walk a distance further.

There it is, the river that gave the name for the surrounding area of Sayong, a sub-district if not mistaken, which is famous for its traditional hand-made Malay vases and water containers.

Towards the river mouth...

This is where the waters flows into the much larger Perak river...

Perak river from Sayong

Continuing from Just another look at the Perak river from Temong jetty.

From Temong I went to Kota Lama Kanan followed by the royal town of Kuala Kangsar and its relevant surroundings. Next I feel like I must search for the Sayong river mouth.

Using a combination of gut feeling plus studying Google Map in satellite view I managed to find it off a sandy and gravel path.

 

For the record the Sayong river flows into the Perak river.

Here are pictures of the Perak river from around there...

Just another look at the Perak river from Temong jetty

Continuing from The paddy fields at Lubuk Merbau.

Next I went to Temong to visit the tomb of the saintly person known as Tok Temong. As usual, I also went to a have a look at the Perak river from the close by jetty.

While I have shown pictures of this place many times before here I feel like making another article on it. This is because the surroundings is much clearer than before...

The paddy fields at Lubuk Merbau

 Continuing from Perak river from camp Lang Buana.

Tuesday morning 26th July 2022. I had spent the night at a relative's house in Lubuk Merbau surrounded by paddy fields.

The views were certainly refreshing...

There is a small river behind the house.

Perak river from camp Lang Buana

Continuing from The lake garden of Slim River.

The following afternoon Monday 25th July 2022, after settling some business in Ipoh I took an inland route off Sungai Siput and headed for a camp called Lang Buana.

Situated besides the Perak river it offers some nice views...

The lake garden of Slim River

Peace be upon you all. I've just made another trip to Perak. As usual there are things to be shared starting with this...

Sunday afternoon 24th July 2022. I headed for Teluk Intan taking the old trunk road after Tanjung Malim. Upon reaching the town of Slim River felt like checking out this place...

It is a lake garden besides the trunk road.

I have passed by here many many times.

But as far as I could remember this is probably the first time I made a stop to check out the views here...
