Actually should not be serious enough as a tourist trap. Most travel books recommended people to attend this slide show before climbing the summit. However, the slide show provided only very general information which you could find in any travel books and videos. No practical information was given. You still need to pay RM2 each person to attend this slide show.

We went on a day excusion. The journey is long and not too interesting. On arrival you are taken for a route march through a jungle to see the orchids. On return to the car park you are herded indoors for a basic meal drinks(what you really want) are extra, followed by a long journey home again with a brief stop at a local village selling tourist nik-naks.

Unique Suggestions: Go on a trip that includes Poring Hot Springs. At least you can go on an interesting walk and have a bath at the end complete with a refreshing coconut!
