Janda Baik: What Carlos says about Janda Baik

Not far from Kuala Lumpur but away from the urban rush of the city, surrounded by countless hills covered with the luxurious green of beautiful secular vegetation and crossed by a number of small jungle streams that sometimes turn into wild rivers after the pouring afternoon rain… Janda Baik spreads itself, as if hiding in the middle of the nature.

It is quite a wide and spacious village with plenty of green, amidst which the most simple houses can be found besides extraordinary mansions, which I believe, might be just weekend retreats for those, who can afford escaping the stress of the city and come here, to forget the world and hear the wind whisper softly with thousand tongues, on top of the trees.

Nature has been very generous with Janda Baik and offers nice places to relax and exercise.

As for myself, I like jungle tracking and hiking in the area and have seen beautiful spots with centenary trees and cooling waterfalls.

And for the best of all, I love to cycle on the winding and hilly roads around here, enjoy the healthy benefits of the “except for the motorbikes” clean and oxygen rich air.

In this fast moving material world, time seems not to matter much in Janda Baik and I hope, it will be able to continue to find the balance between progress and nature….

I hope the occasional noisy morning fights of ape family’s, as well as the songs of countless birds and insects and the remarkable screams of the Hornbills, will continue to borrow a sense of wildlife to the local atmosphere and be a reliable wake up call in the early hours of each new day.
