A visit to the high waterfalls at Lata Kinjang

Something from my March 2010 picture files...


During the March school holidays, me and wife spontaneously decided to take our kids to the Lata Kinjang waterfalls...


At first we just wanted to take a drive towards Kuala Kubu Baru 40 km from our house. On the way we felt like going further to Tanjung Malim, just past the Perak-Selangor border. Upon arriving there we felt like hey... why not go on to Lata Kinjang were lies a very high series of waterfall? Although the place is 150 km away from our house the drive felt like a breeze and we practically arrived there in no time. Here's a number of Orang Asli (indigenous people) house which could seen towards the waterfalls.

Oh, now I remember. That day, 13th March was when our baby Muhammad Al-Rasyid became 5-months old!



There, baby Al-Rasyid loves this place...




Just look at the other people enjoying it too...





As for me, it is customary to try the limits...






So I decided to climb up further. Thank God for the stairs...







Here's the second level of waterfalls...












I've circled the position of the first level relative from here...






Still there are upper reaches to explore...







So time to climb further on.






The third level in view...






One could see a suspension bridge going across higher...






Actually the bridge has been closed to public. But hey, I can't help exploring OK...







From the bridge one could see visitors enjoying the waters at what seemed to be the fourth level. Anyway, it is a level higher than the place I've mentioned as the third...







A look towards the lower levels. See the people having picnic? That is at the place I've marked as third level. Lower down towards the centre of the picture is the second. It's almost impossible to see the first level with the naked eye...





Yet Lata Kinjang still have higher waterfalls!






Too bad, the suspension bridge is the last and highest place with a clear path. If you want to go higher you have to do some serious jungle trekking. That's all...
