Saturday's Excursion - Day Trip Before Ramadhan
While a slew of people seemed to be heading to Gunung Nuang on Saturday for training or hiking or picnicking or ALL of the above; before the start of fasting month, we decided to head to Putrajaya and tackle a much easier route instead.
We arrived at Taman Canseri in Presint Diplomatik at around 8.30am to start our walk. Yup, just planned to do a bit of walking. 4hours walk. Nothing to strenuous. Muahaha
Before long, we ventured into Taman Rimba Alam. Putrajaya is planted with a lot of local trees and it's certainly quite nice to see and learn about them here in Taman Rimba Alam.
The trees planted in Taman Rimba Alam are all labelled!
But this durian tree wasn't. LOL
Not a durian fruit in sight. Hmph.
Checking out the scenery at one of the hills "conquered".
and then we stopped by at a section of Taman Rimba Alam that's planted with local fruit trees.
Kuinin were in abundance. We didn't pick any. Pity, right?
Rambai fruit were in abundace too but they are all unripe and not fit to be eaten yet.
After like an hour of checking out the fruit trees there, off we went to check and walk on more hills.
Rolling hills. Some shady. Some shadeless.
Feeling like I'm top of the world! On a bukit. Hahaha
Another hill conquered.
Finished our walk after 4hours and 30minutes. But first, let me take a selfie. Hehehe
Next excursion like this (late morning, long hours walk/run) will have to wait until after Ramadhan. Daytime runs will be short and end shortly before buka puasa.
Long runs will have to be limited to night runs. A running group that I followed will be doing a 15K run on Friday night. Maybe I'll join them.
In the meantime, how's everyone's second day of Ramadhan?

The view looks quite nice, very close to the nature...
ReplyDeletethis is like pseudo-nature trail. Hahaha
DeleteA walk in a landscaped forest with tarred road. :)
I like this kind of places
ReplyDeletethe best part is it's FREE! :)
Deleteah, so the Ramadan Series is started with this excursion to Putrajaya on the eve of Ramadan?? somehow deja vu, macam it just happened last year that you went there and i can still remember you picnic there eating nasi bought from Ramadan Bazaar~~ :D
ReplyDeleteHahaha
DeleteMaybe we'll do that again one Saturday ;-)
hahaha, you were hunting for durians there?? probably all kena curi already.. and you were not afraid standing below the durian tree ke?? later a durian drop onto your head dei.. OUCH!!!
ReplyDeleteAll the durian trees in Putrajaya, putik also tarak :P
Deletelove the rolling hills.. and it's always nice to see them in photos, but if you want me to be there, probably wait till the weather is like 15°C lah.. but the reality is always cruel, guess it was way beyong 35°C that day you were there?? hukhukhuk
ReplyDeleteooopssss.. beyond it should be..
Delete** beyong sounds so like a Teochew guy speaking English in his thick accent!! hihihihihi ^^
Beyong... hahaha
DeleteOr like Kaldip if he speaks in his hometown malay accent. Kikiki
No lah... not that hot.
DeleteMaybe 32degrees? ;-)
Where exactly is this Taman Rimba Alam? Looks like a nice place to go walking. I was at the Putrajaya Botanical Gardens last week. Long time did not visit that place haha!
ReplyDeleteI already mentioned it in the 2nd paragraph what ;-)
DeleteBeautiful ! How is wish I can I hike too. Sg is more like a urban jungle though there's a bukit Timah nearby. But they are all top far away.
ReplyDeleteThe macritchie reservoir seems to be a popular spot for races even the Salomon Cross Country marathon was held there last week... can you go there?
DeleteNanti I pun nak recce lah tempat ni :)
ReplyDeleteGroup mana Jumaat ni Lina...?
GC Millie
DeleteFeel so refreshing when we are near to nature.
ReplyDeleteKak Lina betul betul cintakan alam....
Errr no la. Lol
DeleteI just happen to prefer outdoors than malls! Lol
4 hours of walking?? *Salute* Dont know whether I need to be carried down or not.. hahahaa... I remember my friend took me to one park before in KL.. is it Damansara or what.. I cannot remember, there is a stall selling nyonya kueh at the entrance... I think we only took one hour.. and that was it.. hahahaa...
ReplyDeleteHahaha
DeleteThink of it as the same as going for a 4hour shopping. Can one. LOL
So nice to be so close to nature. If I walk as much as you, my lutut will goyang dy lu...
ReplyDeleteOr maybe it'll get stronger as you progress? Hihihi
DeleteI like walking but don't know if I can tahan 4 hour walk hah...hah....
ReplyDeleteCan sure can :-)
DeleteNever heard of this place, but it looks like a nice place to go, free from the hustle and bustle of the busy city~
ReplyDeleteWell, unless you are really well versed about places in Putrajaya, it's not a surprise you never heard of this place though I've blogged abt it a few times. :-)
DeleteThis isn't a tourist spot after all. But the best thing is, it's right smack in the administrative centre of Putrajaya. ^^
I love the photos! It is so motivating for me to bring Letchumy there to train her Stan-Chart runs. This safe area has huge and ample trails that seems endless in nature! BAGUS!
ReplyDeleteYup. This is a safe trail so far :-)
Deletefour hours walk....ahem ahem....i surrender :p
ReplyDeleteTry first la... before you surrender. :P
