ATV At Adventure Park, Kemensah, Kuala Lumpur

It's good to live in KL when I get the chance to play host for my family, whenever there were here. My brother and one of his son came last two days, for my brother wanted to try mountain-biking at KL with his friends. OMG, he owns detachable bike and expensive mountain bike, and this can be considered him as super biking-freak! (Well, my dad to, now...) 

My brother frequently rides around Perak and Penang, but most of the times, he rides with his friends, not in competition or what not. At times, he would camouflage to "ghost rider", the one they called someone who patiently waited at some check point, and suddenly join the ride. Hahaha! If and only if the marshal didn't caught them, I must say.

Well yesterday, while I was looking after his son, he went to Kg. Kemensah/Kemensah Heights to ride with his other 11 friends. Two of them were guides. So I thought, it would be fun if we can meet him, after going to Zoo Negara. Guess what? Zoo Negara was packed with people! No parking, and the queue was super long! And so, I had to cancel it off.

Since my brother told me that he rode somewhere behind Zoo Negara, we quickly thought that he might be at ATV Adventure Park. Located near the MRR2, this place actually quite easy to find. We just need to look for signage of ATV, Ikan Keli Salai, Cendawan Tiram, and Lembu Korban. Hahaha! It was quite deep further up but we were entertained by visitors who were picnicking and barbequing along the small river. This is what KL people can do. Hehe!
Hubby and I always wanted to try ATV but I always told him, two riders won't give the excitement like a group ride (yes, they have 36 units!). Since we plan to have this activity with my fellows #TravelholicAwesome, why don't we have a quick check-out, I told hubby. Hubby was looking pretty excited and quickly jumped off the car and posed in front of the entrance.
There was one small man-made steps for visitors to climb up, before we finally reached the main shack. Before us, we saw rows of little cute monsters, ATVs, in red and blue colors. There was one that differs, might be used by guide or some sort of demo, in camo design. Cute!
We were lucky enough to hear the whole session, since there were 7 visitors (I believe Singaporeans) came to try this activity. Good tips, guides, instructions, and whatever rules were told and explained to them. They were given a few rounds of test/demo, before they were released into the wild. Owh, don't worry, helmet and guide(s) will be provided for each group! But you MUST come in sport shoes, okay!
One guide then came to us. We took this chance to ask everything that we wanted to know, for our own good preparation. He then handed us the pamphlet of the Adventure Park, complete with packages details, prices and tracks. Each package varies according to the type, length, and time of each track. It's your call!
Package B - RM100.00
1 to 1 1/2 hours offroad track up to Waterfall. You get a chance to swim there!

Package C - RM150.00
1 1/2 to 2 hours offroad track up to Sofea Jane. Yes, the famous waterfall where Sofia Jane used to swim. And you can swim there too! Fefeeling Sofea Jane gitew...

Package D - RM200.00
2 to 2 1/2 hours offroad track uphill and downhill to Bukit Tabur/Dam Ride. You will be seeing the whole KL and Kelang Gate Dam, here.

Package E - RM300.00
3 to 4 hours offroad track with rough terrains, river trail, steep hills, and bumpy muddy to Bukit Tabur/Dam/Sungai Liza/Dataran Mas/Bukit Lalang. Well, I guess this is the best of all!
Besides these tempting packages, facilities such as surau, toilets with showers, swimming pool, and ample parking space, clearly offers a good venue for adventurous Family Day. Pak Ein's family day maybe? Hahaha! Pity my nieces and nephews coz clearly, they are all under 16 years of age.
We then walked off and headed back, leaving us with their attractive statement "A Guaranteed Unforgettable Experience". And I believe, I need to try it one day :)
So, any takers? #TravelholicAwesome?

Note : More info here at ATV Adventure Park website. They operates on Monday to Sunday : 9am to 6pm (Close from 11am to 3pm on Friday).

Have nothing to do?

Find something to do!

Come, know your own country!




So...who says it isn't fun snapping pictures in Kuala Lumpur? Tips : Find interesting places (fine, if it isn't fun also ok), find interesting friends (to replace the not so interesting place just now), and find interesting posts (it's a must, to show how interesting the time or place is). Example? :D

Outing With Kak Ngah

I accompanied my elder sister to have some sight-seeing around Kuala Lumpur. She came with her family and partner in crime, who also a teacher at her school.
So I helped her to book 2 rooms at Hotel Plaza, KL, just for the sake of to be near to the LRT.
We were so eager to try the KLCC Sky Bridge, and I helped them to queue since early morning. As expected, it was a long queue! Even tourists slept near the counter, just to get first in line. The management has limit the ticket buying for 5 tickets per person, but when I reached the counter, I tried my luck and told them that my sister came from Perak and she can't make it on time, so I have to get 9 tickets for her and her family. Lucky I got it!

Before we went up, they divided into groups. After a short presentation, the lift went up to level 49 and visitors were given only 10 minutes to be on the Sky Bridge. Boring...
Right after that short visit, we went to Ikano and Ikea. I can see that the kids were so happy when we got a special arrangement with one of the staff at Pet Safari, who happened to feed the animals at that time. He showed us every single thing that he did on his daily job.
Then it was the time for shopping at Ikea. We bought kitchenware and few decorative things. The kids started to get bored, so we went to the National Museum! I never thought of going there again, for I went there once to see a stupid Malaysian Ghost Exibition.) Hahaha!
