During our road trip in July 2024, we went to a hidden gem: the “Ulu Slim Hot Water Pool”. This Hot Spring Pool is located in Slim River, Perak, Malaysia. We went to there on our way back from Tok Bak campsite in Tanjung Malim. It’s a unique experience. We are the sole visitors that day.
The below poster board at there is quite informative that explains how and why this hot water comes from this pool. The water in the pool reaches up to 104 °C temperature. This is hottest one in whole Peninsular Malaysia. Of course, there is no volcanic activity here thus the smell of sulfur is not strong. So, we can walk through the path until the pool.
As mentioned earlier, this is not a popular tourist spot and even we’re the only sole visitors during our visit. So, don’t expect many facilities around that place like restrooms, food stores etc. But it’s worth to visit with kids especially to explore. The entry is free of charge.
We should appreciate UPSI university for their efforts in setting up such informative board for the visitors about the science behind this phenomenon.
We even captured our visit on video, which you can find on our below YouTube channel.
