As a recent visitor throughout the Malaysian mainland, I wished to visit the WHS of the Lenggong Valley!

This site is not really difficult to find but it seems that most of the guide books ignore this place or allocate to it few lines with fewer details! More surprisingly most people around seem to even not know the existence of a WHS nearby & its interest! One must say that the site of the Museum is not accurate, especially for the date of completion of lengthy renovation works!

I finally found a taxi driver who seems to know the area! (he was very interested by the visit & told us afterwards he will return with his children!).

With my travel companion, we arrived at the Museum which was closed... after some chat between our taxi driver & the entrance guard we were introduced to a very nice guy who appeared to be one staff member! He accepted to bring us inside & visit some parts of the Museum!

He gave us precious information about the place : In some Lenggong Valley caves were discovered elements proving human life spanning over 2 million years & records of early men, the oldest outside the African continent! Most interestingly there is the skeleton of the Perak Man, the oldest most complete human skeleton (probably more than 10 000 years old!).

This souvenir of this man is soulful as he was probably handicapped with one of his arm so he probably had to struggle even more than his counterparts for surviving in his very hostile environment!

At the end the visit to Lenggong is very interesting but the Malaysian Cultural Authorities have to dedicate more efforts in order to ease the visitor experience to this rather unknown WHS.
