Rushing on to Lata Kinjang...

Finally the last story for this blogspot regarding the latest trip to the East Coast made in the recent fasting month of Ramadhan. Continued from the article The tight winding road down to Tapah.


Immediately upon arrival to Tapah I head northwards...


The time then was past 6.30 pm or so and we still have another 16 km to reach our next destination, a place called Lata Kinjang...


So I rushed and rushed and rushed...


I want to get to Lata Kinjang before it turns dark...



Besides Lata Kinjang is situated in a jungle and my wife and I were fasting. We must break our fast upon dusk as prescribed by Islam but we have no ration on our side and very limited time to reach Lata Kinjang.




But first we must pass through a place called Chenderiang...












It is a small town which I couldn't remember ever being at...







My wife was asking me to stop for food...






I said if we stopped we could miss the superb view offered at Lata Kinjang. Besides it should not be far away now...






Well, it was getting nearer alright but not as near as I thought. The signboard which says "Lata Kinjang 1 km" is not referring to the remaining distance to get there, it was actually referring to the next junction to get in!






Anyway we soon reached this bridge...




The bridge crosses over the North-South highway. It is from the highway that I first saw the superb waterfall that is called Lata Kinjang, one of the most magnificent waterfall I ever saw anywhere my whole life!



To cut the story short I managed to reach Lata Kinjang just before dusk, my first time ever reaching here despite having seen it from the highway many many times. Thank God there's also a stall nearby for me and wife to break our fast. With this I end this series of stories based on my latest visit to the East Coast made during the fasting month of Ramadhan ya. Cheers! :]
