Here are some interesting facts about our destination before we head there:)
Gunung Ledang
-believed to have one of the richest flora species in the WORLD (now that's something)
-you'll see giant butterflies,brightly coloured spiders amidst wild tropical flowers of bright yellow,crimson and orange
-crickets and frogs singing songs of the jungle (hmmm I know Cheryl will like this),chirping sounds of birds become the music of this tropical land
-the Puteri Waterfalls is a 50meter drop waterfall
The Legend of Puteri Gunung Ledang
| According to the legend, the princess was of slim build and medium height and had a stunning beauty. Further, she was also endowed with a sinuous movement, that accentuated every curve of her little body. Men were naturally attracted to her but amongst the many, she was claimed to have spurned was the Sultan of Melaka. The legend tells us, that the princess eventually married one Nakhoda Ragam, a hero whose name unfailingly struck terror into the hearts of those, who had dared to oppose him. ut this hero was later to die at the hands of his princess-wife. Ragam was found of tickling the Princess's ribs and one day, in an uncontrollable burst of reaction. The Princess stabbed her husband in the breast with a needle she was handling. Therefore the Princess returned to Mount Ophir and vowed never to set eyes on another man. |
