The Tree Top Walk, Highest Canopy in Asia.



That's not me in the video clip. I took one of my colleagues from Switzerland to the highest canopy in Asia, The Tree Top Walk. Nope, this is not located at Penang Hill and the last time I went to Penang Hill, the canopy walk was closed to public for maintenance. Hopefully, it will resume soon.

Coming back to this place located in the Sedim Recreation Park, near Kulim (in the state of Kedah), it was my first time too walking among the tree tops and I was afraid of heights. They don't call it the highest canopy in Asia for nothing. Walking on the steel platform (it is a see-through type platform, which made it more terrifying) was the hardest part. I was not sure how long the path was, but it took like 10 years to complete it. Just kidding, don't look down, time pass faster.

Nevertheless, the fear of heights somehow disappeared and we turned our focus to the rapids below us and the tree tops at the same height of the canopy railing. It was a fantastic feeling. You should try it, it is like bungy jumping, only without the fall.

Info about the place:-
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. Adventerous 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.
