MiddleEarth - The Quest of the Black Rainbow Part One.

In the jungle of Pahang, there was a garden which is actually the secret garden of the kings of the land since ancient times. Now the place is being rediscovered and make accessible by Middleearth. Middleearth team comprises of a group of men and women who have genuine affection and passionate about the earth, the environment and the forest. They also expressed their desire to share Middleearth beauty and mystery to those who have similar belief and interest but the number of visitors should be limited to first come-first serve basis.

Middle Earth specialty includes research and seeking new exotic locations such as waterfalls in the thick rainforest of Pahang and Terengganu. In less than a year, the team headed by Mohd Marudzuan @ Wan @Mat Duan have been putting their resources together to discover Lata Lebah , Gunung Ais (Ice Mountain) , Lost waterfalls and a few other locations.
