PERAK’S Sungai Kampar lies just two kilometres from the well-known Gua Tempurung caves eco tourism complex, but it has taken a much longer time for this pristine river to become as famous as its limestone counterpart. It is quite possible that Sungai Kampar would have remained relatively “unknown” for many more years if not for Chan Yuen-Li,longchamp sale, who accidentally discovered the river’s potential for whitewater rafting ten years ago. Chan, 46,longchamp le pliage, is a veteran when it comes to exploring the nooks and crannies of Malaysia in search of suitable spots for rock climbing, abseiling, caving, hashing, kayaking or rafting. In short,longchamp sale, anything that has to do with interacting with nature. But even then, this Ipoh girl had never envisioned that Sungai Kampar, which is only 20km or so from her hometown, could hold so much potential for eco-tourism. In 2003, the company that she founded, Nomad Adventure Sdn Bhd, organised its Eco X-Capade adventure race at Gua Tempurung, a place well known for its limestone hills and caves interspersed with tropical vegetation. It was one of her guides (not from the area) who got lost during the race, and stumbled upon Sungai Kampar. “After that race, I decided to check out the river with two friends on our inflatable kayaks. We found that Sungai Kampar is a more exciting river to raft compared to other rivers I had explored in Peninsular Malaysia because of the consistency of the rapids, as well as the flow and volume of the river. It’s also easily accessible.” At that time, the most famous place for whitewater rafting was at Sungai Selangor, near Kuala Kubu Baru. But the building of a dam on the upper reaches of that river heralded its end as a reliable spot for whitewater rafting. A few weeks after her maiden descent down Sungai Kampar, Chan concluded that the area was a goldmine for eco-tourism and she decided to take the plunge. Clients can also take part in other less demanding activities like tin panning in SungaiKampar using the traditional dulang (wooden pans), as well as rubber tapping.
