On the way to this remote area you will have the opportunities to enjoy the untouchable scene of a true kampung life.
Ulu Legong is uniquely located near an orang asli (aborigine) kampung. Previously, not so many locals are aware on the existence of this area. I dont remember exactly when was my 1st visit here. But those days, there are only 3 big square hot pool. Only the 3rd pool is bearable to our human skin. The 1st pool can be used to boil the eggs for your breakfast.
About 5 years ago the Kedah state government has made the area as one of the ecotourism spot. Since then, entering this area is chargeable at RM3 per person. Parking fee of RM1 is paid at the ticket counter too. There's also accomodations for those who want to overnite in this rural area.
Nearby the area, there is also a river call Sungai Angkat literally transalated as Lifted river. Across the river from the hot spring, a place for camping is provided for those who love to camp out here. There is a fee to this activity too. There's also children playground.
Changing rooms are available which is located next to the playground.
Since this is a hot spring and Malaysia is a humid country, the best time to visit the place is very very early in the morning or at nite.
I would advise you all to avoid weekends' nite as there are too crowded done. Come in the morning when u can enjoy fresh hot spring as this is the morning when the pool has just been cleaned.
