We had so much fun at the Waterfall!
The water was freezing cold, yet our laughter, excitement and craziness warmed us.
We brought some food there to picnic.
After playing, everyone grabbed the food like July’s hungry ghosts…

Anyway, The whole way to the waterfall is semen pavement/ pathway so is safe…. Not like the usual muddy and sandy pathway where it is damn dangerous and harder to walk…

There is an entrance fee of RM1 per person and on a fasting month, we were surprised to find that the streams were actually full of people.
At the park entrance, I spotted a Portia jumping spider and went to work on it with my Canon MPE-65 macro lens.We later hiked about 2km to the peak of the Tekala falls.
