Description of place
This
waterfall is posted for the record. Years ago before the Highway was
first upgraded, this stretch is real mountain road. Hardly any
traffic and the forest of the hills here pristine. The waterfall here
among the thick forest was very natural
and also the water collection point for travelers. As I said all
these information only remained in the mind, not even on official
record. Its name is mentioned as one of Negri Sembilan's scenic
spots. Which documents? Never mind! One day, the name would pops up
and you will remember this odd sounding name See, it has a proper
name too. Very recently this highway was once more broaden
and in contrast to earlier days is now a thoroughfare.
This
so-called waterfall destination do not fit into anybody mind as a
known spot. The waterfall do not look "real" nor does this place be classified as a picnic
spot. The reason as to why then, had I included this place.
OK!
This is a fairly nice looking "Baby Fall" that crossed the highway [one of the two Highways] running across the Main Range in the State of Negri
Sembilan. Then, some years ago when the highway was expended, the
traditional piece of empty land in front of the waterfall was taken
up as road shoulder. At the same time, the road itself had to scrap the
edge at the lower part of the waterfall where the pool normally was. There goes a favorite and
beautiful place of rest for many motorists. Today, there are still
passers-by who stop and bathe. To catch the old nostalgic feelings. But it is
uncomfortable. The traffic just brushes past you. The continuous
noises and the potential danger of a motorist missing his turn,
should be at the back of ones mind, who ever spend time time there.
You
could make out from the picture, the waterfall is nice looking but
the volume of water is just too little. Then, at the bottom of the
waterfall, the "pool" is filled with sand. There is nothing else for
one to do, except to use the falling water to rinse oneself to cool
down from the hot day.
What is recommended
What can
I say? Make a trip there to check out this place. Bring your camera
along. There is still some empty ground opposite the waterfall, but
it is across the road. You could or rather, you would have to park your
car there and then cross the road to the waterfall.
Unfortunately, this new parking lot had not be refurbished [nothing
was worth salvaging] There are no shade. All in all, this place is simply- hot, dusty, noisy and too dangerous to be
hanging around.
