Sungai Liang, Raub, Pahang.

It’s a perfect camping ground.

bikers, bikes and bed

8km by four-wheel-drive then 18km on mountain bike climbing off road with self support supplies such as tents and food.

Morning sun bring out beautiful rays and warmth

To get there is hell but once arrived at the camping ground, it’s like a paradise wedged between two rivers. The water was crystal clear; you can even see ikan kelah swimming in the river between the rocks and boulders.


Delicious fresh flesh. Ikan Kelah

Reunited with a bunch of old MTB-er comrades and made friends with new ones.

The ride downhill was orgasmic, though interrupted by a series of un-rideable stretches destroyed by environmentally insensitive and irresponsible four-wheel drivers.

Due to the damages on the trails (which is good, in a way), the campsite is no longer accessible by 4wd but the ugly scars on the trails remain.

Currently the campsite is only accessible by mountain bike or trekking on foot.

Don’t have to go far.

Malaysia is beautiful!

The only setback, as Adli Ice Cube Dahlan commented on Facebook – Too short. A 3 days 2 nights camping would have been just PERFECT.

I enjoyed it tremendously and will join again next time.

From Raub it was about 20 minutes drive to a plantation. We rode out mountain bikes for almost 5 hours to reach the spot. Its pristine. Try to google Sungai Liang, Pahang. The 4wd track is badly damaged when we went there.
