Pahang Lake Chini Tour

Motorboat Ride, Orang Asli, Nature




This tour will bring you to explore the mysterious and magical Lake Chini, a natural lake surrounded by verdant rainforest that teems with many mythical legends. Chief among the myths surrounding this lake is that a dragon, called ‘Naga’, lives inside this lake, the equivalent of a Loch Ness monster. Others believe that an ancient Khmer city lies submerged at the bottom of the lake.

Whether fact of fiction, Lake Chini is a fantastic place to explore the wonders of nature and wildlife. We will ride on a out-board motorboat to reach Lake Chini through the river while passing under ancient trees that form a thick canopy of shade.

We will also visit an Aborigine (Orang Asli) settlement where the natives will show you their lifestyle and way of hunting using blow-pipes. When in season, you can also see lotus flowers blooming, spreading a pink hue across parts of the lake.

As in dance, music in modern Malaysia is divided into traditional and western types. Traditional music is usually associated with the traditional theatre forms such as Mak Yong, Wayang Kulit, Joget Gamelan, Hadrah, Dabus, Kuda Kepang, Gendang Kling, Mek Mulung, and a host of other minor entertainment activities. This type of music is based on either the pentatonic 5-tone or heptatonic 7-tone scales; and is performed mainly by percussion-dominated ensembles which include combinations of three types of instruments, namely the: Aerophone (wind instruments), such as the serunai, pinai, seruling and selumprit flutes.

Welcome To Kelantan

Kelantan Darul Naim The Cradle of Malay Culture Kelantan Darul Naim , or simply known as Kelantan, is one of the most interesting states in Malaysia. The Arabic honorific, " Darul Naim " meaning " The Beautiful Abode " in English, perfectly describes Kelantan, as this state is indeed beautiful and rich in cultural heritage. I remember when I was young, during the festive seasons, my dad would bring the whole family back to his hometown in Kota Bharu, Kelantan ( Kota Bharu is the capital of Kelantan ) to visit my grandma and my relatives. Being brought up as a city kid, and being used to the fast-paced, interesting, exciting city life, I really disliked going back.
