Rawang 8km Monkey Touge


Pic 1: Rawang touge - Don't get burnt by the erm .... burned out twisties sign

I 'discovered' this route from Rawang that leads to Batu Arang and Ijok on one of my business trip to remote old Tanjung Karang. It's just a short twisties about 8km long. Due to the presence of many monkeys, thus I named it the Rawang 8km Monkey Touge. LOL :D


I was there again during another one of my business trips thus took the opportunity to recce the route. Didn't really push the ER34 due to non-familiarity of the route and also the presence of tiny pebbles and sand in the corners. PLUS there's a lot of monkeys. In fact during my drive, which is about fifth tenth pace (yea I know it's darn slow :P), there were monkeys scurrying across the road at 1:05, 1:11 and 4:23 in the video below.

Enjoy.
