Kerling Hot Spring...

"You drown not by falling into a river, but by staying submerged in it..." - Paulo Coelho

Kerling Hot Spring is located around 10km from Kuala Kubu Baru and close to the town of Kerling. From the main road we entered a smaller road passing through residential areas.

The hot spring area has been upgraded gradually and now it is seen as a shallow square swimming pool. A well constructed bridge takes visitors over the river to the rest area and hot spring pool. The shallow river next to the hot spring is suitable for bathing and family picnic. Before the MCO, this place used to be well patronized especially on weekends.

Facilities provided around the hot spring are gazebos and BBQ areas. There are washrooms and toilets but they look vandalized. 

Kerling Hot Spring was deserted during our visit except for a family having a picnic by the river.
