A Jewel In PD

During the weekend, my sister and I decided to fetched my grandparents to PD for his Association for the Disabled weekend getaway. It has been quite a long I have travelled down to PD let alone drive along the old road to PD. There was many changes along the way that I hardly could recognise especially the sudden developed town of Lukut. We made our journey all the way to the 14th mile to locate a place called Eagles Ranch Resort Sports Paradise. As I drove into the road that lead to this resort, my eyes began to open wide with amazement of the sight that would soon meet me. I was totally captivated to find such an interesting place as this to located in an undisclosed area. A jem of PD.

I had first heard of this place in the papers when the Star BRATs came here for their writers camp a couple of years back. Besides that, I also came to know from the pictures on the notice board that Explorace paid a visit here for one of their episodes. Its no wonder why they decided to come here considering what a beautiful place this is. Here are some snippets of this beautiful place.

This place certainly reminded me a bit of Sarawak Cultural Village. Its one of the most idle place for one to have camps or just a weekend getaway. Thoughts were brewing in my mind. This could be one of my stops during my Road Trip around Malaysia. Hhhmmm...Well, if you want more information about this place, do visit this link.
