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.
