pics of the trip
trekking into the chilling waterfalls - crossing one of the six rivers
view while hiking in
took a right turn and the waterfall dramatically stood before us - first glimpse of chilling waterfalls
chilling waterfalls in all its glory
close up of the double cascading waterfall
overall view (i can't stop taking pictures of it!)
waterfall and the stream below
the cove behind that we climbed into (too dark to see?)
our platform where we camped
more pictures of where we camped (because i love it so), this one with waterfall as its backdrop - we have first class view from where we slept
the forest behind our camp (360 degrees surrounded by nature - exactly what i wanted)
even more pics (can't see my my brother's tent which was on the sand - it's softer and more comfy to sleep on)
we didn't sleep inside the tent. instead - we slept star gazing in the open air (freezing cold at night!)
see the view from where i slept! (that's not me of course)
another view of the river (this is where i sat perched for my morning coffee gazing at the river and forest)
the amount of food we brought for one night to feed four mouths!
and the beer chilling in the chilling river ;)
bonfire
cooking dinner - maggi mee with luncheon meat, sausages and sardine, yum, we all agreed that nothing in kl tastes better. next time round however, we're bringing in lamb chops :)
doing nothing and happy doing nothing
this is breakfast - tuna sandwich, baked beans and coffee
boiling water for morning cuppa
the tree trunk again - one of the spots where i had my morning coffee (without the strangers of course)
the stone arrangements that i was talking about earlier - tinged the place with a paganish ambience. i followed the example set - these are arranged by yours truly. how cool is it if i saw them again the next time i hiked in.
last river we crossed as we left the vicinity. the road was less than five minutes walk from here, and we were reluctant to return to civilization. the four of us lingered here, washed out feet, rested, ate some snacks, changed and stared at the river. we talked about when we'd return. finally with collective sighs, we headed back to tar roads and the traffic jam of kuala lumpur.

am not satisfied-
never disclose the location of campsite!
never put pics of all of you in skimpy swimming/camping outfits!
never show pics of nice camp food!
i like the stamp concept thingy :)
my annual stamp collection can't fight with yours :(

Hi, so means can camp near the fall? Can it fit about 4 - 5 camp?
I read it's a 2 hour hike. Is it a difficult hike? considering you have to bring in stuff to camp and cook?
I also read that it's dangerous during raining season.
Hope to hear from you.
Cheers

as a rule of thumb it's always unwise to camp in the immediate vicinity of waterfalls as water levels can rise very suddenly. however, this site is ok - but it won't fit 4-5 camps. you can opt to camp by the river that leads to the waterfall.
it is a very easy hike - without gear one can reach the falls under an hour. the rocks get very slippery when wet - i suppose that's the danger during rain though i did hike in once when it was drizzling and i enjoyed that experience tremendously.
