Tak Kenal Maka Tak Cinta Ep10: Ulu Bendul, Kenaboi & Gunung Datuk

Tak Kenal Maka Tak Cinta is our ongoing tourism-themed series on Earth Matters, which aims to highlight lesser-known ecotourism spots right here in Malaysia. Done in collaboration with the Ecotourism & Conservation Society Malaysia (ECOMY), we want to take you back to the great outdoors, and experience the many off-the-beaten-track nature spots our country has to offer. This month, we're going to Negeri Sembilan, more specifically, towards the east and southeast of Seremban, for some trekking and sightseeing! Three places on our list - first there’s Kuala Pilah, where we will explore the Ulu Bendul Recreational Forest, before we head to the Kenaboi State Park, a primary forest full of wildlife, birds, streams and waterfalls too. Finally we head to the Gunung Datuk Recreational Forest, known for its hiking trails, with varying difficulty levels, promising something for everyone. We explore what nature lovers can find at all three locations with Andrew Sebastian, the Founder & Chief Executive Officer of ECOMY.
