E-Wen Hooi: Resort Taman Eko Rimba Komanwel (RTERK) @ Rawang, Selangor

The first thing I noticed about RTERK is that the camping park is very clean but not one trash bin in sight! Just 30 min drive from KL, you can immerse yourself in nature without compromising on cleanliness and ammenities.

There are several types of camping ground for you to choose from. If camping is not your cup of tea, there are resort rooms, cottages and ONE cosy villa that has its own pool.

Let the cool air comb your hair when you ride on the ATVs, bicycles and electric scooters.

The best therapy for me is listening to the sound of the stream. Remember to pick up after yourself and do not litter in this beautiful park.
