Whitewater Rafting

Wonder why it is called Whitewater Rafting and not just Water Rafting? Well, this is basically due to the roughness and the strong current of the water, with splashes here and there. As a result, white foams are formed all over the surface. Hence, the name Whitewater Rafting.

Sungai Kampar which is located at Perak, Malaysia is a good place for this adventure. The river here is mostly of Whitewater Class 1 and Class 2 category, with some occasional Class 3 rapids here and there. Located somewhere along the main North-South trunk road near Kampar town, I don't remember seeing any clear signage directing people to this place.

However, one easy way of getting here is by going to the famous Gua Tempurung, which is a stone's throw away, and asking the guides there to direct you the way here. They will be more than willing to assist you.

We have conquered Sungai Kampar!
