Date: 1th April 2009
Plan route; Karak H/way, Lanchang (Kuala Gandah), Tasik Chini, Tasik Bera
Plan duration: 2D1N
I feel so lazy to wake up on that Saturday morning; this maybe due to over dos OT on Friday night. I need to support my member to prepare her presentation material. Since I have already promise my ridding buddy then I have no choice to wake up! This will be his last ride before flight off to China. After prepare myself, I left my house around 8.30a.m
After the 45minutre ride via NKVE, I meet up with Woo at BHP along Karak H/way. We meet up with a group for sport biker, they are heading to Karak for nasi lemak…….they all having a nice and new bike….you may see in the photo I attach (GS1200).
After a short rest and chat with those sport biker, we start our journey.
Due to the yesterday over dose OT, I have lost my riding confident. I don’t feel like to riding fast and don’t enjoy much when we start our journey from BHP to Lanchang. Anyhow, I still try my best to concentrate riding.

After an hour ride, we reach Lanchang exit. From here we were heading to Elephant Sanctuary Park. To our surprise, most of the visitor to this elephant sanctuary park is foreigner; almost 95% is foreigner. There only 2 Malaysian family and 2 ‘crazy biker’ in this
sanctuary park. Well, I would like to express my gratitude to Jabatan Perhilitan for their well maintains of this park. To be true Malaysia has a nice elephant sanctuary park (although compare to Thailand is very much different) but we Malaysian do not really enjoy this facility, what a waste!
After spend more than an hour in the sanctuary park, we continue our journey to find Malaysia largest fresh water lake, Tasik Chini.
From Lanchang exit, we heading to Maran exit. We stop over at Temerloh R&R for some food and patrol. I have a very bad experience on the R&R price tag which I can’t believe it; it’s more
expensive than hotel price liah…..just imagine a plate of economy fried noodle+beehun and an egg will cost you how much???? It is RM5.00!!!! To be true, this is the most expensive economy noodle I have in my life! Please do not visit this stall “Rasa Bintang Timur”!

This time, I get back my riding mood! The riding toward Maran is fun and enjoy. When we reach Maran, we encounter a problem to find the road that can lead us to Sungai Pahang. With some natural direction sense, we gone through a small and un tar road. This is tough but very adventure road. After 30minute ride through this ‘trunk’ road, we saw the mighty Sungai Pahang…….so impressive to see the West Malaysia mighty river. We ride along this mighty river until we reach Kampung Belimbing. Kampung Belimbing is the jetty that normally Cub Med patrons visit Tasik Chini via Sungai Pahang and Sungai Chini. We are so lucky that we stop over at this village.
We meet Pakcik ‘Din’ and we start chatting. He told us a lot about Kampung Belimbing history and the previous float incident that hit Kampung Belimbing. From his information we got to know that Tasik Chini Resort was close for renovation. With this unexpected situation, we decided to go back on the same day instead of stay at Tasik Chini. We also decided to take Pakcik Din boat to tour Tasik Chini.
We start our boat journey around 1.45p.m. After cross over Sungai Pahang, we cruise along Sungai Chini before we reach Tasik Chini. Along the way Sungai Chini, we can enjoy the nature scenery…..it is a nice and relax cruising.
Tasik Chini is not as big as I have image to….a little bit disappointed but still worthy to visit. It is peaceful and calm lake, it really can make you feel relax……this is totally different kind of feeling compare to our hectic environment in KL. I have snapped a few photos …..please enjoy it.
After 2 hours cruise & tour at Tasik Chini and Sungai Chini, we come back to Kampung Belimbing jetty. So coincident, once we reach the jetty, it starts raining. The rain is so heavy, we have to wait until the rain stop. It took around 30minute for the rain to stop.
We start back our journey when the rain is not so heavy; we can’t wait longer due to we still have long journey to ride. This time we are using totally unfamiliar road (which not in our map), we are just base on our natural basic instinct. We had gone through the ‘Kampung’ road which leads us to road 2.
The road is terrible; there is so many pothole and land slide. It took us around 30 minute to finish up 20km road. Once we reach to road 2, we are heading to Temerloh.
The ride from Maran to Temerloh is so challenge because the road is wet after the rain. After 45minute, we reach Temerloh town. We are looking for some hot ‘stuff’ to warm up our stomach. It is difficult to find a Chinese food stall in Temerloh town. We have to round 2 or 3 round to find a Chinese food, finally we found it. We have fried rice, ‘mun san mee’ and ‘nya po lo si fun’. The ‘nya po lo
si fun’ look good but it is tasteless……not recommended.
The day is getting dark; it’s around 7.30p.m. We have our bike to fill up at Patronas before we continue our journey to home sweet home. The road from Temerloh to Karak, is totally dark, winding
and wet. This is the 1st time we are riding in night time at a stranger road. There is so thriller and adventure…….feel so good that we are able to finish ride.
We suppose to have our last stop at Gombak rest area before us heading to our own home sweet home. Just after the Genting tunnel there is a heavy downpou; the visual ability is poor, we are really exposes ourselves to high degree of dangerous. But thank god, we able to finish the ride in one piece.

Conclusion, I would like to say that this ride is full with adventure, dangerous and fun! For me, I am really looking forward to have this type of ride (maybe with a night stay over at Chini).
