UiTM students field day

22-24th Jan, 2013

Students of UiTM's various courses held their leadership get-together at the Ecoliife Basecamp. Besides doing community work, they enjoyed the bamboo rafting & river activities most, besides embracing the local Semai culture which included the ritual Sewang dance & trying their marksmanship with the blowpipe. The basecamp has been attracting various local universities and colleges in the past.

Fun in the river...

Yeah! It was great!

The Sewang sure beat the Gangnam style!

Fishing at the basecamp

Are you into fishing?

Lately, the basecamp has become the centre of fishing activities. One can fish from the basecamp jetty, on the bamboo rafts lining the jetty, charter a boat or at a fish sanctuary(small licensing fee required for a whole day of fishing). The basecamp will prepare packed food for the anglers who charter a boat. We can even send food to those anglers who prefer to fish at a sanctuary about 30 km away from the basecamp. All in the district of Kuala Lipis, Pahang.

The basecamp have seen repeated visitors for this kind of sport, coming from all over the country. Whatever your fancy, do contact us for any fishing trip.
