Perak river from Sungai Suli

Continuing from A more meaningful look of the Perak river at Batak Rabit.

Later I went to a place called Sungai Suli. After exploring the parts accessible by car I caught sight of a part that lead to the Perak river.

So I walked to get as close as possible to the waters.

This is a far as I could go without stepping into the mud or getting myself wet...

A more meaningful look of the Perak river at Batak Rabit

On to the 4th and last day of the recent Perak trip.

Tuesday morning 18th April 2023. Having spent the night at the family heritage mosque in Batak Rabit I then proceeded to the nearby jetty facing the Perak river.

I have been here many times and have shown the views around in this blogspot.

However this time it is more meaningful.

I have spent the last few months studying Perak history of over the last few centuries and the importance of certain locations. Batak Rabit used to be the residence of the Sultan or ruler of Perak from 1874 till 1876.

It was only 2-3 months ago that I realised the family mosque directly faced a cape which I found used to be known as Tanjung Medan....

Zooming it directly to the cape. Of course it looks just like another riverside landmass. But you could clearly see it as a cape in Google Map.

To the east lies another cape which used to be known as Tanjung Putus.

There used to be a Dutch fort build in the middle of the 18th century AD there.

Visiting other parts of the Gaharu Tea Valley

 Continuing from Visiting the Gaharu Tea Valley.

The van then took me to other parts of the Gaharu Tea Valley...

At certain places visitors are asked to walk around and feel the atmosphere...

Visiting the Gaharu Tea Valley

Continuing from Going further into Gua Tempurung.

Next I went to the Gaharu Tea Valley.

It is a place where some 200,000 Gaharu trees have been planted over 300 acres of land.

I took the van tour...

It took me to some sort of hilltop restaurant where you can get nice views of the surrounding...
