When I was younger, I did a lot of camping. It is one activity that I enjoyed doing. Very often my friends and I would carry our outdoor gears, food, etc. and head out into the woods for our macho adventures. We spent days roughing it out, enduring pain, discomfort, irritations, etc. We have seen danger, and with a courageous feeling plus some silliness we’ve overcome them.
Those were all many years ago. These days I prefer comfortable and cozy hotel rooms with all the creature comforts such as air-conditioning, proper beds with comfortable mattresses and pillows to pamper my spoilt body, etc. I prefer lush and bouncy carpets to wet, soggy, and uneven grounds. I no longer want to cook my own meals, collect firewood, dig drainage, and clean up our campsite when on holiday. So, where do pampered urban folks like me go to when we want to remember the old days?
We go glamping. Glamping is a term made of two words; “glamour” and “camping.” There are a few of these glamping sites in Malaysia and one of them is Dusun Bonda in Batang Kali, Selangor (Malaysia). Dusun Bonda is a beautiful retreat with heavy-duty tents spread out around its grounds. All tents come with air-conditioning (portable air conditioning units), comfortable mattresses and pillows, fans, lights, plenty of plug points (via gang adapters), a proper rack to hand clothes, etc.
