Tips for hiking at Chilling Waterfall

Chilling Waterfall....

May, 2011 (last year)

waktu tu adalar ajak beberapa classmate.. but, they busy with sort of things.. so, 

only awanies, kai, ili and me are free that morning... huhuhu..

anin siap tido rumah ili on that nite.. sbb nak bangun pagi2 lepas subuh, nak masak bihun goreng, karipap, dan nak potong kek batik pagi tu... mcm2lah kitaorg masak kan... abb ingat ramai nak pegi..

1. The place is open for visitors only on Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 8 am until 6 pm.

empangan yang jauh mata memandang.. mcm best je...

(with camera tu) konon2 water proof lah tu...

2.  It’s a great place for day trips, BBQ and picnics by the river.
3. Cooking is not allowed at the waterfall although there are still people who will sneak a portable gas stove in their bags.

 4.  After 3 pm you are not allowed to go hiking up until the waterfall due to safety reasons since it will take 1 hour to the waterfall and another hour back down. Nevertheless, you can still take a dip or picnic around the river near the entrance or the river by the roadside. Ada disediakan tapak utk perkhemahan kat situ.. =) becareful lebih2 laagiii time hujan... sebab ada incident 'kepala air'... BAHAYA tu!!
5. Entrance fee is RM 1 for each person which you will pay at the registration counter. 
6. If you would like to camp, usually you don’t need to book ahead of time. You can just walk in to the registration booth and pay up RM 10 deposit per person. I think the place is huge enough to accommodate a lot of campers. So no worries. There were only 5 groups of campers with minimum of 5 people per group the day we were there. Most day trip visitors will leave the place the latest at 7 pm. The RM10 is a deposit for you to maintain the cleanliness of the camping site. If you are coming with a large group, you can give a call to this number : Yusri 013-3089463 and arrange for camping site bookings.  The number was given to me from the lady at the registration counter.
7. Fishing is not allowed at this fish sanctuary. It is a sanctuary for ikan kelah and these fish are obviously protected here. boleh bagi makan jelah... bg ikan tu gemok-gemok... -roti ke...
8. There is a toilet, surau, a couple of wakaf and a designated camping site at this place. Camping is at your own risk. I don’t see any guards around but it is generally safe to camp here since most campers are friendly and nice.

9. It takes about 5 minutes of walking from the entrance (roadside) to the registration counter. No cars/motorbikes are allowed to enter beyond the gate at the entrance. If you are camping and barbecueing this calls for heavy duty load carrying on your two shoulders. Multiple trips are required if they aren’t many people to help you to carry your countless number of stuffs. ( jgnlah bwk BANYAK brg... sbb nk redah sungai abis beg2 basah- get plastik extra...)

10. The best shoes to go around this place is a zap on sandals or slippers. You can wear shoes but then again it will be soaked wet. Also be prepared to get wet right after the suspension bridge from the registration counter. For short people like me, the water level reached up until half of my body during the 6 river crossings. If you have a waterproof bag, it is highly recommended to swim across rather than wade through the current. It’s faster and safer to swim across actually but you will be drenched which shouldn’t be a problem.
11. You have to keep the place clean and bring back whatever trash you have made from your picnics. The huge dumpster is located near the parking lot just before the entrance. In short, you have to carry your rubbish back out yourself.

we have to redah sungai sambil mengangkat beg- becareful sbb beg akan basah.. huhuhu..

12. Don’t expect to have a sparkling clean toilet or shower room. This is afterall the jungle and why bother showering when you have the nice, cold river to dip in! None of us showered because it was freaking cold. Oh, a couple of guys actually jumped into the river at night for a quick dip and just under 5 minutes, they were already back at their camps.The water was COLD! sejuk babe... tak kisah berapa tebal kulit kau.. still sejukk.... jadi eloklah pakai baju dan seluar track yang cepat kering..

mula2 masuk air sungai walaupun tengahari panas,still sejuk... bila masuk macam xnak keluar... kalau keluar mula lah sejukkk..... sbb angin bertiup ~~gggGGGRrrRrrrr~ ~......... mengiggil.....

13. Do mind the wild dogs if you are camping. Make sure you clean up your camping site after the massive BBQ cook out you had during dinner. You don’t want to have the dogs sniffing down your rubbish and trashing the whole place out. 

inilah dia duyung2 air terjun... =P

the end.... jom balik.....
