Nov 2008 - After our Geruntum Waterfalls trip, we dropped by this accessible waterfalls near the town of Bidor, Perak. The route to the falls or rather cascades, was an easy one if you paid attention to the directions given by Jan from waterfallsofmalaysia. Its not situated in a reserved forest, but probably on private land.. I think visitors were requested to pay a cover charge, but since we arrived quite late.. nobody asked us any money. When we were there, there were no huts and other public facilities, and watch out for potholes..
It was already raining when we got there and it looked like the Nov skies were about to pour its heavenly contents on earth again.. as it was near 6.30pm, many visitors were packing up to leave. I was not impressed at all by its first sight, and there were stray dogs and piles of rubbish around the river banks.. :(
Where's the waterfalls? I was getting impatient because it was getting dark and rain started to drizzle. There were still a few picnickers around so I guess bringing the kids do a little bit of exploring would be ok. This was a view taken from near the iron bridge and weh! That looked very deep, those daddies better be good swimmers cos those children looked way too young to be good swimmers!
Aaahhh! There it is! Small and uninteresting actually. But the surrounding rocks and boulders were quite nice. Those boulders with water erosion marks is a good indications that water levels here could reach very dangerously high and swift.
It's very beautiful and inviting.. but it was getting very late, rain has started falling. By the time we reached back to our parked car, a few picnickers who were obviously locals, warned us that its very dangerous to swim here when it rains.. "Air dah deras ni..bahaya!"
Very deep and quite a turbulence down there..
Full view
I don't know why, but that calm pool gave me the chills that day..
As there was nobody around to ask, I assumed the pool is VERY DEEP! Not tall, but water volume was quite impressive!
