The Chamang waterfalls in Bentong, Pahang

Last Sunday, on the way back from Raub to Kuala Lumpur, I felt like making an excursion to Chamang...


The actual intended destination lies 8 km ahead...

One have to take a winding path down (or rather up?) the jungle...


And there, the destination is almost at hand...



But first park the car...



The hint of what's to come is already there...

Nice huh?



Actually, the real attraction could already be seen from the carpark...




Welcome to Chamang waterfalls, one of the more impressive waterfalls I've seen my whole life anywhere. For the record this is my second time here. The last visit was made probably 7 to 8 years ago....





While the waterfalls are very impressive, it is considered off limits to the public. It is very dangerous and has cost a number of lives...





Nevertheless, visitors can enjoy safer areas like this not far away...




Another look at the main waterfalls...



This video should put the places in perspective. For the record this is the 343rd posting here. Cheers! :]
