Ulu Geroh & Rafflesia

Wishing all a Happy 2008 ahead! These few photos are a little late. Taken last year just before Christmas, these images from 2007 were held back to make way for the season's greetings.

Aerial approach into Ulu Geroh. In this area, the Rafflesia blooms the year round. The Malaysian Nature Society with the SEMAI have done a great job in protecting the area while creating an opportunity for low impact eco-tourism.

Can you spot the football field we are to land on?




Right over the village now. Can you spot Dewan Rafflesia? That is the 2-storey multi-purpose hall with basic accommodation for overnighters.




Here... let me help point it out.




The Rafflesia. Looks big yes? It is big, just not as big as what this photo may depict.
