You must be wondering by now what kind of trap I am trying to set up here with a post title like that.
Well, "TRAP" is simply the acronym for Taman Rekreasi Air Panas. These hot springs that we stopped by on our recent trip back to Ipoh is located just off Sungkai. The place is simply beautiful with it's man made ponds for swimming, hot spring spas, saunas and soaking pools.
Exit from the Sungkai toll plaza, turn left towards the direction to Trolak, then turn left again and there are clear directional signs that will lead you to the hot springs. The distance from toll plaza to the park is approximately 10 km. The route passes through the Felda Sungai Klah which is a small town surrounded by the thick oil palm estate. Driving throigh the oil palm estate in the morning is darn relaxing.
When we stepped foot onto the park, we were amazed by the lush greeneries, hills and streams that abound in the vicinity. I was captured by the cleanliness of the park and its beautiful landscaped gardens, as well as fascinated by the flora and fauna. It was really wonderful to just stroll around and breathe in the unpolluted air.

The hot spring is one of the other alternative to modern day spa centres. Many believed that the natural springs have healing properties that will help to heal and detoxify toxic from your body. Those with stiff muscles, insomnia and skin related problems should consider soaking themselves here.
Water Reflexology - walk bare foot along the hot stream of water covered with stones.
There are private jacuzzi if you and your family prefer to have the privacy of soaking in a secluded atmosphere instead of joining the crowd at the big pool. You need to pay RM75-RM125/hour for these so-called family baths.
The shower area.
There is a toilet and changing area.
There is a switch to control the temperature of the water.
The steam blurred the camera lens.
Soaking in the hot water without any disturbance is a bliss.
We spend 3 hours here, marvelling at its tranquility and beauty, nestled in the lush hills and forest.
