HOW TO GET TO SUNGAI SEDIM










The frothy fast flowing rapids at Sedim River Recreation Park near Karangan, 30km from Kulim, is a great eco-tourism draw for stressed-out minds and tired bodies.
Picnicking is a popular family activity here as the recreational park has basic
infrastructure and facilities such as chalets, changing rooms, public toilets and food stalls. Adventurous visitors can test their endurance by taking on the rapids with rafting, kayaking or canoeing while the less daring can opt for soft adventure activities like bird watching.

Strolling along the world's longest 925m long “Tree Top Walk” which is further into the park's forest.The canopy walk promises visitors a breathtaking aerial view of the rapids, some 50m below. During the walk amid the tree tops, lucky visitors may get to see various species of colorful small birds while enjoying the sounds of gushing rapids and jungle creatures. Other activities at the park include jungle trekking as there are a few jungle trails suitable for trekking.These trails lead to nearby peaks such as Gunung Inas, Gunung Bintang Utara, Gunung Bintang and Banjaran Bintang.
