yellowbanana inc.: Berkelah Waterfall: Day 01

7th June was the day 01 at Berkelah waterfall aka Picnic Waterfall... 9 of us; Enigmaz, Celyn, Chee Sin Lou, Ah Ee, Yoyo, Alice, Aegean, Ah Hong and I... By 12 noon, we reached to the entrance of Berkelah waterfall which located between Maran and Kuantan by Karak. The day wasn't suitable for any outdoor activity as it was a rainy season. Since it was a waterfall trekking, no doubt we'll get wet also.

We started our journey at 12:45pm. A short distance from the entrance, we have to cross the 1st stream. We noticed that the water was muddy as the day before rained. We encountered a few campsites and most of it were fully occupied. There're few groups from Singapore too.

We trekked along the waterfall and terrain was rocky surface. The scenery wasn't that attractive due to the brownish water. Therefore, we hardly stop for a waterfall shot.

The rocky surface became very slippery when wet.

The path wasn't low... We have to trek up and down. We came across a few high and dangerous path.

Some route was very narrow... just right next to the strong current waterfall...

By 15:00, we reached almost to the last fall. We've to cross the stream in order to get to the last fall. Water tide was higher than usual. We used the rope which belongs to another group of trekkers to get us across.

Finally, we reached to last fall... It was really huge. The after-rain causing the fall greater than normal. Enigmaz on the huge rock...

We built 3 tents; 2 by the grand fall...

Ah Hong enjoying the scenery from a huge rock...

We spent most of our time on this huge rock...

By 19:00, sky was dark and it started to rain. We had our dinner under the huge rock... just like in a cave...

Many swallow's nests built under the rock.

Basically, there're nothing much we can do under the rock... just to wait for the rain to stop. Again, Chee Sin Lou with his newly bought gadget... This time with multiple colours... XD
