3 Days 2 Night Outing in Ulu Muda

Experiencing the Wilds of " Ulu Muda "
Located at the eastern frontier of Kedah bordering the Thai province of Yala, this 160,000ha lowland dipterocarp forest is home to most of Malaysia's large mammals. It is home to 9 of the 10 Hornbill species found in Malaysia including the very rare and globally threatened Plain-pouched Hornbill.

Our journey will start at the Muda Jetty (old name was kopam jetty) of Muda Lake some 150km from Penang. A one and a half hour on a traditional long-tailed wooden boat ride across the lake and up the Muda River will take us to Earth Lodge. Some of the activities you will experience include visits to salt licks, overnight at a wildlife hide, swimming and frolicking in cold forest streams, visit to a newly discovered limestone hill and its mysterious caves and watching birds and other wildlife. You can also just laze around the lodge grounds listening to nature's jungle music and being awakened by the call of the White-handed Gibbons.
