ROYAL BELUM STATE PARK, PERAK

DAY IV

We have reached our final day of our 4 days expedition to Royal Belum. We started the day early to end our expedition with flying colors. With the water condition is ideal for casting. Finally we manage to land several Sebarau, Tengas and Kelah. To bad, we did not bring our camera along as we want to travel lightly and fully focused on our casting session.

It was 10am and we repacked our camp as we need to head home around 12pm. We have cast 3 rods with our fermented palm oil seed. Since we are all busy repacking our stuff, En. Rahim noticed that there is only 2 rods still standing. The other rod was pulled into the water, luckily the rod is tied on to our fishing stand. After some glorious battle, finally we’ve landed the King of the Mountain, Golden Mahseer and one Tengas.

A beautiful Fish Indeed!

Another pose with our catch!

After we landed all the fish, its now time to pack our bag and leave Jeram Ketir. It was an amazing 4 day journey with our Fishyology Explorer and certainly we shall return to Royal Belum. To be honest, it was hard for me to leave this fishing haven with majestic flora and fauna diversity. In the other end, I miss my family and friends and life must go on as usual. We bid farewell to the other campers and wish them all the best.

It was badruls turn

Hell yeah!!

Finally we have cross the ridge

After 2 hours of walking, I was quite surprise with my increase in stamina. Probably after few days in the jungle, I lost weight and once our body constantly on the move, it has increase our stamina. Even motivation to return home was probably another key factor. We rest for a while along the Sungai Kejar before our last push to our boat.

Resting. We can see smallfish being chased by larger ones

Nuar and Mr. Rahim

We reached our jetty at 3.00pm. We rest for a while for lunch and bath to refresh our selves. Once all bags are stored in the car, we bid our farewell to Mr. Rahim who has been a great guide with unique personality. We will miss all his stories of royal belum and hopefully we will meet again in the future. Last but not least our great appreciation to Along and Exegates Adventures who make this trip possible for us. Well recommended to those who would like to embark on the same journey that we have experienced. That’s a wrap for 4 part Royal Belum Expedition. Thank you to all readers and stay tuned for more updates in October as we will head out to Jarak Island and Rompin for some sail fish action.
