Again few weeks unupdated!  Few amazing weeks spent with travel, futsals, ups and downs the campus hoping the project proposal to be approved, run around Kuala Lumpur looking for electronic components till bubur kacang ijo and finally ended up here on this blog. Well to make this interesting, this is our journey to two amazing natural tourism spot just within Kuala Lumpur.

The desire on the travelling to the nature has burnt our silences into a little candle fire. Not much planning just a normal chit chat we decided to have a try on Waterfall nearby Ampang. On the next day we found ourselves in a RapidKL bus heading towards Kelana Jaya station. We are in a group of 9 boys, oh sorry it is 4 actually just to make up the story. We planned to take only public transportation except taxi, to create such a real feeling of travel.

With a piece of map printed from Google Maps we reached National Zoo, place we didn’t mean to come. After investigating, we realized that the waterfall we are heading is up the hill behind the Zoo. The only failure we had is we took taxi to go from National Zoo to the waterfall, that is after the taxi driver told us that the place is high and have to go through kampong orang asli. The only reason we took taxi was we couldn’t imagine how kampong orang asli look like.

Reaching the spot, we were shocked. The shock looking at the waterfall which had been advertised and the one we looked for real. Looking to the flow of water we could say it is 1 meter high and cannot be considered as waterfall, maybe the word water stream is more appropriate. We were not disappointed remembering how easy we get to the place and not forgetting that we took taxi to reach the waterfall, so it is worth the effortless effort we put.

Before going home we make some appointment to the guard that we would like to come another time for another higher waterfall that may took twice or thrice time to reach compared to this waterfall. We were sure another waterfall in the area will be worth walking. There is total of some 27 waterfalls is in that hill with various height, we planned to reach the 2.5 meters waterfall with thrice walking time, some other time.

Here are some pictures of the journey
