The Search for a Little Paradise

A good year ago I received this email about a wonderful place which, in the email’s own wording “Just after Ulu Kanching before Templers Park behind a Shell station”

It’s like a small place which is very peaceful, serene and calm in the wilderness where you can rest your mind and soul. The pictures attached with the email were awesome. I figure that it must be a great place for photography & holiday as well.

You got beautiful landscape, calm jungle river and a very beautiful Bukit Takun facing the place. The pictures seriously got me wondering. Where is this place? How can you find it so near to KL? Where it is hidden? This place got to be a photography heaven.

There are nice chalets with a wonderful view;

and a very calm enviroment.

So with the name ‘Bukit Takun’ as my only clue about the ‘mysterious’ paradise, I went up to Google Maps via Wikimapia and search. Since I knew Templers Park’s location pretty well, it’s relativly easy to find the Shell station mentioned above. The Shell Station is just located on the left side of the road before the main entrance to Templers Park if you’re comming from Rawang to KL. You can’t miss it as it’s the only petrol station along the entire strech of road.

Now that I knew where this Bukit Takun is, I began my quest to search for the little paradie. Guess what.

FAIL !!! FAIL !!! FAIL !!!

The only thing that I managed to find are a old golf club, few rows of old bungalows & discovered a few new long winding roads. Now where on earth is this mysterious place? Can anyone let me know?

Anyone have any idea? I’m still thinking about this place.
