Skytrex Adventure

When I was a little girl, my dad used to bring me to Bukit Cerakah, Shah Alam in effort of getting in touch with nature. Over the years, the place has undergone some major refurbishment albeit preserving the tall green lushes trees. This place is now better known as Taman Pertanian Bukit Cahaya/Taman Botani Shah Alam.

Taman Pertanian Bukit Cahaya now has many attractive activities and places to visit among which includes :

  • Skytrex Park
  • Herbal Park
  • Four Seasons House
  • Tropical Fruit Park
  • Paintball
  • Fishing Dams
Visitors may opt to go around the area by renting the bicycle or shuttle bus.

In the recent TSDayOut, Tourism Selangor decided to challenge us with exciting obstacles at Skytrex Adventure ParkSkytrex Adventure Park is a preserved area with exciting obstacle challenges getting from tree to tree while enjoying the beauty and tranquility of nature.

Skytrex has three challenge course depending on how one would want to challenge themselves :
  1. Little Adventure 
  2. Big Thrill
  3. Extreme Challenge
Last year, bunch of my friends went for the Extreme Challenge. This time around, TSDayOut opted for the Big Thrill (which is still as exciting).


here's what the big thrill is all about!

The obstacles involved for the challenge were mainly :
  • Flying fox
  • Walking on planks, nets, string
  • Climbing up fleet of ladder
  • Swinging on ropes and tubes.
ready to take on the ladder!
17m off the ground
here are the runways!
swing and work on those upper bodies yo!
hold on to whatever you can like your life depends on it!

After completing the course for almost two hours, I must say it is an exciting experience that it is worth going for as it :
  • helps one overcome fear of height - fears aside, trust yourself and just do it!
  • helps one to work on upper body  - oh those swings!
  • gets one to stay active and exercise - climbing up the ladder, try doing it without panting!
  • lets one fly in the air without wings - it only involves safety harness. :)
  • is fun and healthy activity to do with friends while enjoying the tranquility of nature!
  • helps to practice runway walk in the air - when's the next ANTM audition?
the final runway!
yeay,we completed it!

Trick is to keep your head up and walk proudly~! Own the runways!
