Below is an email sent by a tour guide to his 14 tourists. :p
Ok this is the rough outline what we gonna do on that day
Ok this is the rough outline what we gonna do on that day
7am gather then depart.
We have 3 cars, with Darren, Daniel and Guan Meng driving. So if u guys wanna join any particular car just let the drivers know. And ya do discuss with your driver how to subsidize them some petrol money because it's not a short journey like going to sri petaling to have lunch or dinner rite? (KKB is about 80km away from Bukit Jalil) Somemore we'll need to go around after we reach.
It's a Sunday so my estimation is we'll reach there in about 1 hours 15 to 30 minutes.
So we'll reach about 8.30am, then we'll go somewhere to have breakfast first, my plan now is to go have handmade wantan mee in my neighbour town, Rasa. It's famous locally la though i don't really know how it tastes because i think most of u guys know right, i'm allergic/intolerant to eggs. Then after the breakfast we'll head to my town, KKB. I'm thinking of asking IMU whether they can let us get the keys of 1 of the houses so that we can lodge most of our luggages and stuffs there first, i'll try ask them and see, if i' going to IMU later (Friday).
Around 10am we'll head towards the waterfall, which will pass our dam, the Sungai Selangor Dam. The scenery is quite good and so do bring your cameras if u're thinking of snapping some pictures there or anywhere later in KKB. (Part of the Old Town Restaurant recent advertisement was shot here, the most notable being a big lake behind a swing on grass). Shortly after the dam, we'll reach the entrance to the waterfall. Then we'll need to trek for about 1 hour, depending on how smooth our journey gonna be, might be more, or less than the estimated time. I have to admit I've never been to the waterfall, but the trails should help, and I do hope we'll choose most if not all the trails right, though don't worry we would not get lost, we can always just turn back if we pick a wrong trail. And ya, in case I didn't tell u, we'd need to cross streams and rivers few times, bout 5-6, which the highest would be till abdomen level.
We'll spend about 1-2 hrs there at the waterfall, before heading back to our cars. WE might have picnic or slight lunch there if u guys want. The waterfall is called Sungai Chilling Waterfall, and some people say it's because of the icy cold CHILLING water. Couldn't tell u more, since i'd never been there also. Then the trek back should be relatively shorter. After the waterfall trip, we'll head south again to Ulu Yam Lama for its famous Loh Mee, the most famous food in Hulu Selangor. Again i've never tried it before because of allergy/intolerance, and despite the so-so reviews from my family members and girlfriend, I still think we should have a try.
After lunch, we'll go to the hot spring somewhere in Batang Kali, the gateway to Genting Highlands for people from the north ie Perak Penang Kedah... It's not being anywhere near to extraordinary, just until knee level, yet i think it should be a new experience for those who've never been to a hot spring before, something which is part of my childhood memory.
After hot spring, Jian Ren will head back to KL, and the rest of us will go back north to KKB to meet up with the rest going there by bus. I do have an idea though, this is all depend on u guys. I'm thinking of going to Tanjung Malim, somewhere 20km north from KKB, the border town of Perak and Selangor, divided by Sungai Bernam (something we've learned in Geography way back in secondary school, which is also 1 of the favourite questions). Why so far? For the famous Tanjung Malim Paus i love so much lo. I especially like the curry chicken paus, and i heard the kaya paus there also not bad. But really, it all depends on u guys lo, also if we've enough time la. And also u can actually get them when u're going north by PLUS, at the Tg Malim rest station.
So enough about the trip rough outline. Now it's about what u should bring, specifically for the waterfall.
1. Sport shoes, this is a must, u won't want foot ache, or even worse, have your slippers flown away by the rapid stream right? If u do "sayang" your favourite Nike Adidas New Balance or whatever brands of sport shoes so much, i'd suggest getting a cheap Power la. Just a suggestion la.
2. Some biscuits and drinking water. Or even some other food for picnicking?
3. First aid kit, this 1 no need to worry, thanks to Han Eyong who is willing to lend us his, and Jian Ren who is willing to carry it.
4. Extra pair of clothes, and leave it on the cars, since we sure be getting wet right?
5. If u bringing camera, better bring a water-proof 1, since we're crossing rivers or streams. If yours not, maybe u can consider getting water proof cap? But i really really hope we will be able to snap some pictures there.
That's all i can think for now, please do not hesitate to remind or tell if u think i miss out something. And please do ask if there's any other query. That's it for now, and hope we all will have a nice trip to KKB.
