Reception have admitted there is a problem with the left elevator always breaking down but are unable to solve the problem, even with visits from local Pak Haji.

Cause its like telling if any. That you are here to stay for few days and no disrespect.

Anyway don't think too much abt this and enjoy the trip. Becomes more of a habit now then na culture.

Very good piece of information from you guys,my sincere thanks.

In all my tours,i will usually bring along some Xia Liu leaves (pics below)...so they wouldn't come close to me,and if they do,it'll burnt them. Causing enough hurt to prevent disturbing even others for a substantial period of time.


i always try my best not to disturb them (even avoid accidentally) hence the reason for my earlier questions about "door knocking" as/and prevention is always better than cure.

Thank you all.
