#springitinerary Today, let me introduce you to the Agarwood Hill Tea Garden in Gopeng — it’s definitely not what you’d expect from a usual tea garden like those in Cameron Highlands! This garden is full of agarwood trees and features three main scenic spots plus a specialty shop. When you arrive, you buy your ticket and then take a shuttle to visit the three main spots. 1️⃣ Viewing Stage & Hilltop Cafe From here, you get a breathtaking view of the entire Agarwood Hill. There’s also food and drinks available, perfect for snapping photos and enjoying the scenery. (Check out the 4th photo!) 2️⃣ Hugging Park Here you can hug the agarwood trees — it’s said to bring good luck! The tree trunks are painted with cute animals, great for photo ops. You can also buy little tomatoes to feed the turtles nearby. (See the 5th and 6th photos.) 3️⃣ Lover’s Park Just down the stairs is a rainbow staircase perfect for pictures and the famous “Lover’s Tree.” There’s a small fish pond too. From here, you can walk back to the specialty shop. ⚠️ Important! The path back includes an iron-plated walkway that can get slippery when wet, especially in the morning or after rain. Hold onto the railing carefully — my mom and sister almost slipped! #SungaiGopeng

My friends & I visited last month ago. It's a great place to unwind. Entrance fee is RM10 and u get to hop on a van with a friendly driver cum guide who explains abt the valley. They have 3 pit stops where u get to view the place. They have a cafe, mini museum & souvenir shop too. They open at 9am and it's best to start early for those who prefer to avoid the morning 🌞. Wonderful retreat to all who enjoy greenery & cool breeze. A must visit if you r new to Ipoh! Highly recommended place to visit and gain so much of knowledge during your tour #favouriteitinerary

#rafting #peraktrip #gopeng #adventure #malaysia #rainforest #weekendgateway 📍 Our weekend getaway to Gopeng was all about adventure, and white water rafting was the highlight. After a scenic self-drive from Kuala Lumpur, we arrived in this small town nestled in nature. The Kampar River awaited us, and after a safety briefing, we were off, navigating the rapids with adrenaline pumping as the cool water splashed all around. The lush greenery and towering trees lining the river made the experience unforgettable, with nature at its finest. 🏨 After a thrilling day on the river, we checked into Sebayu Retreat Gopeng for our first night. The tranquil setting was perfect for unwinding, surrounded by nothing but the sounds of the rainforest. The next day, we explored more of Gopeng before heading to Adeline Villa, a hidden gem tucked deep into the jungle, for our second night. The cozy wooden chalets were a true escape into nature. 📷 The natural rainforest surrounding Gopeng was a photographer’s dream. Every turn offered stunning views, whether it was the lush greenery along the riverbanks during rafting or the misty, towering trees near our accommodations. The best spot? Catching the early morning sunlight filtering through the forest at Adeline Villa. 🍜 One of the highlights at Adeline Villa was the food. The homestyle meals, prepared with local ingredients, were a feast for the senses. Don’t miss their signature dishes—tender chicken rendang, fragrant curry, and stir-fried greens, all packed with authentic flavors. 💡 Remember to pack insect repellent! The beauty of the rainforest comes with plenty of bugs, especially in the evening.

Is a good place for relax and enjoy naturally environment, especially have water rafting and hiking trail. Like it so much #malaysiatrip #gopeng #perak #Hemacamp #waterrafting #bukitbatuputih #campsite #camping
