08/02/2014 - Sungkai - Teluk Intan River Kayaking Recce trip

*after 2 hours of paddling we reach Sungkai township area
Uteh, Kechot, Borgon & Wawa....

We'd decided to go for a recce trip after the first plan was cancelled due to some circumstances. This recce trip is for us to determine the potential of the route for our signature trip.

The paddling journey took us 2 days to be completed with total of 70+km.

After 8 hours of paddling on the first day we stop at the river bank just half an hour from Batu 12 Dam. Awesome small beach make it easy for us to have shower etc.
According to the local people that live nearby, the said that we are the first team ever did this after for more than 80 years people are no longer use the river as the main connecting route. 

 Total of 16 hours of paddling, 70+km of distance we finally reach Kampung Kebun Limau, Teluk Intan, Perak (nearby the big railway bridge).

info: the river start from Kampung Mengkawan, Sungkai merge with Sungai Bidor - Sungkai junction and end at the mount of Sungai Bidor that will merge with Sungai Perak then will lead to Melaka Straits.
