skytrex adventure@shah alam

woke up at 6.15am this morning for skytrekking (exclusive invitation...err, exclusive as in taking up the extra ticket booked by aunt to celebrate her daughter's bday haha). it was a smooth journey to Taman Pertanian Malaysia, Bukit Cahaya Seri Alam, Shah Alam via Federal Highway. Just follow the 'Taman Pertanian Malaysia' signboard after the Batu Tiga toll...However, you may need some techniques to ensure you do not get lost with the signboards: if you do not see any signage on Taman Pertanian Malaysia while you are at junctions, just go straight (that's what i learnt from years of driving in Malaysia :p)

the agriculture park was already packed with people around 8.15am! i didnt remember it was that crowded during my last visit in 2006 with colleagues (when we trip together 3)...those were good memories ;) oh my, it had been 5 years! and i was only 24 during that time!

it was such a nice plan to celebrate my cousin's birthday...25 pax including her friends n parents (yea, i was abit out of place with those teens but it was sort of like a family outing ;))... you'll be brought to the skytrex adventure site by tram, which is about 10 mins ride. Upon reaching there, go to the check-in hut to settle the documentations, take your gloves and head to the harness store to collect your harness. the staff will put it on for you, no worries ;)



the birthday gal's bro...



the birthday gal...




you'll be provided with basic training and demo on the equipment: carabiners and pulley... it's fun to watch those kids going through the challenges with full of energy and curiousity without fear ;) i almost passed out after one of the challenges (due to you-know-what) but i persevere to complete the challenges ;) flying fox was definitely my favourite moment!

we took the Little Adventure course (which we initially thought that would be too easy haha)



this is the starting point for the Big Thrill(and they have Extreme Adventure as well which has taller starting point):

it wasn't that easy to climb up the pvc staircase hehe....

seriously, it was really fun and exhilarating! over here, you are responsible for your own safety, even kids hv to do it on their own once they are on the real trek after completing the training.....the latest rate:
Little Adventure (LA) - RM 35.00
Big Thrill (BT) - RM 45.00
Extreme Challenge (X) - RM 50.00


off to bed now :p
