Kipandi Butterfly Park

It's yet another Sunday. Instead of going to the Lok Kawi Wildlife Park, i decided to go to Kipandi Butterfly Park. Lok Kawi zoo is having another open day. It surely will be packed with tourists local and non-local. Texted Mona if she was at home. She said she was going to the zoo with some kids at 2pm. Told her that I wanted to visit the butterfly park. She asked me to swing by around 10.


So, around 10.20 I arrived. Off we went to Kipandi Butterfly Park (KBP). From Inobong, it wasn't that far going to KBP. Very beautiful la the scenery!! The entrance fee is RM10 per person, and it's open daily (including public hols) from 9-4.30 (i think). A very helpful staff gave us a tour of the place. Quiet and shy, Moidi, his name was. A local from Kg. Kipandi itself. "Dakat ruma sia. Tidak jau mo jalan.' the nice boy said.

There was the insect museum where local and non-local insects were showcased. There was the butterfly enclosure. Then there were two orchid gardens. Hehehe... Mona went around saying,' ini di ruma sia ada, itu pun. Ini lagi gumuk di ruma.." heheh.. buli buat taman juga tu di ruma ko o...
Took some pics. Not as professional as I would like it to be but here they are.



Looks like something the Scouts tied together with sticks and strings...

Me: Sia mau trabang macam ni na..

Mona: Ko saja ka? Sia pun ba..



Birds' Nest Ferns (Paku Langsuyar) and Stag's Horn Ferns (Tanduk Rusa)






Orchids and orchids... Mona taking a closer look at the young orchids.

"Ni macam ada di ruma ja ni.."
