Alor Setar: Kedah River



Boating along Kedah River was a great experience for me. This is not my first time actually..LOL..but cant remember when my last time went here for boating.
Started at the small jetty at Ampang Jajar and off we go.
Saw lots of birds at the tree top of river bank. Mostly water type. Not sure about their species.
Once in a while saw lizard and water snake swimming across the river. Fascinating.
Hopes Kedah Government will take a good care of this natural habitat.
Snap a few shots of muddy river bank. Then noticed Locals with their small boat "sampan" dropping their net.

It's time to go home, the sky getting darker and darker.
It's hard to believe that this river become clean once more. The awareness among the locals give a huge impact to make this river live again.

Can see the Alor Setar Tower..

Here we are..back where we started.
For those who is interested to go boating along this river, hmm i only know 1 place that provide this kind of service, Old Village. Old Village is a name of a homestay that quite nice place to check out. They provided this boating service for their visitor. About the price..hmm not really sure, quite cheap i think. Do check out ya.
