As someone living in KL, rushing to Bentong for a program that starts at 8.30 AM does sound pretty hardcore to me! Hence when I found out I could totally just go earlier one day and just chillax around first, I applied leave for my company, and head on to Bentong. My 1 day earlier room was also a complimentary room when I found out that by becoming a Kechara member (or more affectionately known as Kecharian), I could redeem 1 free night stay and a multitude of other benefits too! Just check out their website for the full list of complimentary benefits here.

Kechara forest retreat to my surprise is slightly just beyond Bentong town. The road down here is scenic with winding highways across green hills, what you would expect when heading up to Genting highlands.

When I arrived here, the whole area was simply amazing! Pictures I see from their website was spot on, and the whole place just has a sense of spirituality to it.

Either-way, picture spam coming up~

Nothing much has happened yet and the fatigue caused me to not really have the chance to explore the entire area yet. Nevertheless, was greeted with various very friendly people around here and was introduced to some great merchandise.

The range of Tsem Tulku Rinpoche teachings are also aplenty and have been doing some reading up so that I do not sound too “green” when I meet fellow joiners of the program tomorrow =)

Will fill up more information as I get onto the program in the coming days!
