To Canaan Valley Heritage Park for the weekend. The drive took about 1 hours. We were told the last leg of the road up would likely be rough but imagine we were pleasantly surprised to find out it's cemented all the way from the hill. It's quite a steep way up.
The mists are still heavy in Serendah at this hour.
It's like it's right in front of your face. Imagine sleeping at night with windows opened bathed in the cold of the dew while you snuggled cozily underneath your blanket... sleeping.
Canaan Valley Heritage Park is seculded in a palm oil plantation. There are not much places to explore, good for R&R. The foods cooked in the kitchen depends on your budget. You need to bring your own beverages and snacks.
There's a waterfall which feeds to pool and run off through a huge waterway. Wanted to wade in but was told foods for leeches..eek.. Alternative, there's a swimming pool nearby though.
The scenery afar taken from 1st floor, outside the rooms.
