The interior of Perhentian Kecil is covered
by lush tropical rainforest with a wide variety
of wild life. You can choose to do a long trekking
or a short and simple one. Trails break into
several parts. Try to do it in a relaxing way.
There are flora and fauna and also wild animals
in the jungle that might impress or bring you
surprises. Start from Pasir Panjang and head
to Aur Bay at the west side. This is a real
short one, only about 15 minutes. Then if your
are not satisfy, go further from Aur Bay heading
down to beaches in front of a local run chalet,
Mira Chalet. This will take you about 1 hour,
but it is worth as your tiredness will be rewarded
with sandy beach. Have a cup of drink before
you go on (if you wish to) to a trail connecting
Mira Chalet with the fishing village. This part
of trekking involves some climbing up and takes
nearly 1 hour for you to reach Kampung Pasir
Hantu.. You can choose to end the journey here
by taking the same way back or look for a boat
to give you a lift.
There
are rocky hills in the jungle. The rock formation
of these hills has created caves which attract
birds to build their nest, especially during
winter season in the northern regions. These
birds are not only adding up to the variety
of wildlife in this area but also bring some
side income to the villagers by collecting the
precious bird nest from the caves. However,
quantity of bird nest collected is just enough
to serve the local market.
Resorts
and guesthouses stretching along the beach.
Most of the operators are local Malay, therefore
other than several recently built resorts, the
rest of the guesthouses are in small scale and
basic facilities.
