From Langkawi International (WMKL) to Simpang (WMKF)
We cross Malaysia from north to south on the Central Forest Spine that groups a set of 4 tropical forest complexes in the center of the country. The monsoon fronts force us to ascend so as not to collide with the mountains
Temenggor Lake, is a stunning reservoir that stands as one of the largest man-made lakes in Peninsular Malaysia. Spanning approximately 15,200 hectares,
Surrounded by one of the oldest rainforests in the world, estimated to be over 130 million years old, This unique landscape provides a sanctuary for wildlife, including Malayan tigers, Asian elephants, hornbills, and various species of deer and primates.
The lake is also a haven for bird enthusiasts, as it plays host to endemic and migratory species. A particularly noteworthy sight is the gathering of hornbills, often dubbed “the hornbill capital of Malaysia.” These majestic birds, emblematic of the region, are an indicator of the thriving ecosystem that Temenggor Lake supports.
We left the lush forests to land in the capital and could not avoid the temptation of trying those challenges that are only possible in MSFS.
