Belum Rainforest Resort #3 - The Orang Asli Settlement

The REAL activity started on the second day ;)

We signed up for the Discover Belum - Temengor Rainforest package (they have a few different adventure packages to choose from) and the day trip includes going to the Orang Asli village at Sungai Kejar Hillir, Jenut Papan Salt Lick, rafflesia-sighting and having a cool dip at Sungai Ruok waterfall.

We travelled to all these places by boat, as everywhere is surrounded by water. With life jackets on! :p

After an hour or so, we finally reached our first destination. There are more than 10 families living there I think.. 1 house for 1 family.

This is just too cute. Cue for everybody to go 'awwww' :p

They make jewellery to while away their time and also to sell and get some income. It's like a souvenir stall here haha. I bought a really long necklace (planned to dye it colourful :p) and a cool bracelet.
