Itinerary

0900 hrs You will be greeted by our friendly tour guides at Gopeng Toll Exit Plaza (Exit 135) who will then lead you to the parking area at Ulu River Lodge, then assemble there and transfer to Ulu Geroh (which is the starting point of your Rafflesia Trek) by van or our infamous open top lorry. The journey to Ulu Geroh will take approximately an hour.

1000 hrs You and the rest of the group of the day (if any) will be briefed by the Trek Guide at the starting point. After all safety measures are explained to you, you will then start trekking into Ulu Geroh.

You will need to take an open top lorry for 1 hour and then another 1 1/2 hours of breathtaking view of the trekking into the nature and through Orang Asli settlement. You will have the privilege of dining with the Orang Asli during lunch, but for those who are not so adventurous when it comes to food; don’t worry because the food served will not be confined to the Orang Asli's diet.

You will however be confined – for a while – to take in the Orang Asli dance rituals (performance) before we whisk you away to visit the Rafflesia Centre and then the Rajah Brooke Butterfly area where gigantic Brooke butterflies are seen in colonies of beauty.

1300 hrs End of Rafflesia trekking and on board the open top lorry again to RIverbug Starting Point.

1400 hrs Settle into your comfortable water-friendly attire as you get ready for the next activity: White Water Rafting. There are bathrooms provided for you to slip into something lighter for rafting.

1430 hrs Next up – get ready to be wet, very very wet – you will be given life jacket, helmet and a paddle in order to be ready for a whole lot of fun: Rafting with your RIVERBUG River Guide. You will be given safety briefing by your River Guide before setting the rubber raft in motion.

1450 hrs White water rafting set in motion. Your rafting excursion will cover 7 kilometers which will go through 9 major rapids to spike up the experience. This will take about 1 and a half to 2 hours’ time and will go by in a blink of an eye. It would be thrilling as long as you don’t forget the "Paddle High Five" with your Raft Crews as you successfully conquer each rapids and reach the ending point a survivor.

1640 hrs You reach the rafting ending point (Ulu River Lodge). You will have bathrooms in which to shower or simply change and freshen up with mineral water and light snacks (on us!). Don’t forget to claim your white water rafting certificate personally signed by your river guide
