Trail Through Fishing Village & Quaint Town of Tanjung Sepat

Gathering a bunch of my friends to take this trail of faith (many did not know how to get there & was relying on me leading the convoy), 22 people in 8 cars embarked on an adventure to shoot anything & everything along the journey to the quaint town of Tanjung Sepat in Selangor. We stopped in Banting to have a cup of butter coffee, a classic favourite of the locals located near the taxi station.

Getting to the town was an adventure in itself. We came by an irrigation canal filled with lotus lillies & everyone got down to attempt to take pictures. The town was famous for its fisheries, Hainan Pao (steamed buns) & locally produced coffee.

After a scrumptious lunch by the Lover’s Bridge, we headed to Bakau Gruv Resort to see the mangrove swamp & the beautiful surroundings. The resort belongs to the late Professor who used to teach at University Malaya before he succumbed to his condition last year. He is succeeded by his son. We were granted permission to roam around the place & take pictures of nature.

Before long, we found ourselves on the road again, heading towards Batu Laut fishing jetty. The sun casted a nice glow as it set over the river bank.

Selangor has so much to offer. The shutterbugs only called it a day after the last of their battery power had drained & looking forward to another trip some time in the near future, prompted those who had no cameras to get one & those who had cameras to get better lenses! We vowed to return, with an empty stomach to savour all the local delights that Selangor has to offer on the trail through Banting to the quaint town of Tanjung Sepat……
