KOMAS' EXCURSION TO GUA DAMAI

TODAY, an excursion comprising of 4 members of KOMAS (Koperasi Kakitangan Majlis Perbandaran Selayang Berhad), tried out the packages offered by Gua Damai.

Lead by Pn. Zuriati, the team members of KOMAS had first trial on rock climbing, followed by abseiling lessons. Next, the 4B Youth Movement guides took them into the jungle for their tracking activity.  Having descended from the hills, they then move on to paint ball session It was a good experience for the team. A short break for lunch was called upon before continuing their educational tour into Ichibawa cave.

Another exciting activity awaited them at the Chili Padi cave. The team had a great time spelunking, which had their adrenaline flowing as they descended 60M into the cave. The excursion ended with 70 feet of abseiling. Overall, it was very enjoyable for them.

Eco X-Series - 4 Race in 1

4th July 2010, Gua Damai was choosed as one of the Stop Station for all Eco- X Series participants. (Organised by Tourism Malaysia, and Nomad Adventure, the event organiser.)

Rain poured down right after the first group's arrival. This made the race track muddy, ugly and slippery. After having cycled from Batu Dam, they were supposed to track around 30 minutes (but it took them 2 hours!)
They went through the tasks of  Spelunking 40M down in Chili Padi Caves and Abseiling from 75M above ground, plus rock climbed the easist route. First timers shooked with cold from the rain in addition to the fear of falling and exhaustion.  Most of the participants emerged from the cave all muddy and brown.

MEDIA REPS FROM AROUND THE REGION VISIT GUA DAMAI

GUA DAMAI showcased its potential to 50 special visitors. The visitors comprise of local and international media representatives. The visit was arranged by Selangor Tourism with cooperation from MPS. Its aim is to promote Gua Damai as one of the tourist attractions in Selangor. On hand to welcome the group were Dato' YDP of MPS, YB Amiruddin, MPS officers and the JKKK of Kampung Wira Damai.

The entourage arrived at 1:15PM. As soon as they descended the bus, they were greeted by 4 BASE jumpers, parachuting down gracefully across Gua Damai to the football field. The jumpers were soon crowded by the media reps and took plenty of snapshots of them.

Encik  Mustapha from Wira Adventure Consultant, gave the media reps a briefing before showing them other activities that were taking place. The visitors sampled what Tomoy is like and had a chance to try out target shooting.  After that, the youths from 4B Youth Movement showed their prowress on rock climbing.

The media reps also took the opportunity in trying out abseiling and rock climbing. The visit ended at about 2:30PM, with the guests leaving with a goody bag from MPS.
