Sungai Congkak Forest ReserveDavid brought me there. Located at Hulu Langat, this is a good spot for birding. Too bad, we did not manage to get any good pictures as the weather was not permitting (cloudy throughout the morning, and drizzled the most parts of the afternoon).
Entrance fee is RM 1 per person and they even have camping facilities. For camping facilities, it's about RM10 per tent per night.
There are 6 camp zones and overall very well-maintained. There are rubbish bins everywhere (unlike Templar's Park) and the caretakers of the forest reserve do a good job in ensuring the cleanliness of the place. This place is very recommended for first time campers who wants to know what it's like to rough it out in the outdoors, as there's always an exit strategy if you feel that the wild is not for you. 'Coz there are communal shelter-areas that can protect you from a leaking tent and (for those who can pay more) chalets for rent for about RM 60 - RM 100 per night for a small family. What one family did was, they rented a chalet, and they pitched a tent right outside their chalet, nearer to the river. I believe the tent was meant for the kids to experience the outdoors, while the parents can relax in the chalet.
Spotted many species of butterflies and birds (spiderhunters, bulbuls, sunbirds, monarch and jungle pigeons).
The very exhausting but satisfying day ended at about 3pm. Definitely worth going again.
