The Tree Top Walk Sungai Sedim

*This is a weekend trip that I did sometime back that I thought would be interesting to share. Another one of my never ending drafts*

I was told by a nature loving friend about this remote part of Kedah that hides one of of the country's best spot for white water rafting. But the part that caught my ear was the fact that this location is also where the longest tree top walk in the world is located.

Getting There
To get there you first hit the North South Expressway and head towards Kulim. Once you reach Kulim, drive through Kulim High Tech Park. From the modern complexes and factories, the scene soon changes to that of villages with huts having wooden and brick combination. Moving further, you will soon reach a place called Karangan. From there just follow the signboard to Sungai Sedim Tree Top Walk. From here be ready to expect kampung roads that are windy and bumpy dirt roads. I was practically wondering if i was in the right direction as signboards are not present till a bit further along the journey. Nevertheless you will eventually arrive at Sungai Sedim once you see the signboard "Sungai Sedim Recreation Forest".

General Info
The Sungai Sedim Walkway measures 925 metres long and is about 50 metres high. Its walkway are firm and does not move from left to right as you walk along it. So even a grandma would be safe walking along the walkway. Nevertheless, for those scared of heights, this attraction is not for the faint-hearted as a peep down might make you a bit dizzy.
For those interested in going, the walkway opens daily from 8.30am to 5.30pm with an entrance fee of RM10 for adults and RM6 for children.

Pretty high don't you think? Not!! its in mm lah
