Perak Agro Tourism (PATRO)

On 26th Jun 2018, Destination Perak offered me to join their Familiarization Trip to PATRO Tanjung Tualang and free tickets to MAPS Perak for corporate tourism bodies and travelling agencies. This is my photographical story..

Arrived at PATRO Tanjung Tualang at 4.00pm and missed the tram ride around the farm..huhu

The cabin where I register as participant. Across the cabin is the souvenir shop where I left my car and wait for the buggy to fetch me.

Inside the souvenir shop 

First place I went was the horse stables, the smell of hay recalling old memories during the riding days when I was 15. 

A few of the usual Arab and Hanover breds, and Shetland ponies

The counter where we wait for the horse ride

My horse arrives, by the name of George

Woohoo!

Hey ho! the horse recognised the slow down gesture for me to pose..

Well.. a ladder makes it easier though.. No cowboy act

Next, ATV ride into the woods

Kayaking with my partner, Mima

All 4 of us ladies pose after we took our bike at the shed

The tram ride I missed.. haha now its stationary

A lot of these info boards about the plants and herbs they grow here

The PATRO Cafe where we have our breakfast, lunch and dinner

PATRO Spa where one get massages and other spa treatments

Roselles... owh I wish I could pluck one and gobble it down

Villas... me and the ladies stay in the twin villa

A room with two single beds
They also provided praying mats, praying robes and Quran.. superb! 

The clear roofed bathroom furnished with toiletries and towels

Traditional games after dinner

In the morning, we took the tram ride to visit the farms here
The mango farm was closed so we went to the Fertigated Chilli farm

Fertigation tanks which fuels water and fertilizer to the chilli plants

The farm manager gave us a briefing on the fertigation method

Next we went to the duck farm

Info board on the ducks and the salted eggs they produce here

The duck farm worker demonstrates how they coat the salted eggs in clay and ash

Next we went to the trees where they kept the Stingless Bee which produces the Kelulut Honey

The bees nestle here in these boxes thus enabling the farm workers to collect the honey

Some souvenirs I bought from the shop before going home..
