Pisang Falls Chronicles II

What would be the first thing one would do after arriving at a beautiful waterfall? Off comes the backpack and into the lovely cool (or cold for some) water! This pool at the base of this fall is shallow so one can wade right under the falls for a head & shoulder massage. Just be careful that your pants are secured least the water curtain brings forth an additional show ;-)




Narrower falls to the left of the main fall.




View from the top of the gorge. The sun decided to show and together with the mist-spray, produced a rainbow.




A closer look at the rainbow.




Time passes all too quickly. We decided to trek out via the alternate route which is easier and brings us out onto the Karak highway. This steep path out of the gorge leads to the camp grounds above and from there, it is easy walking.




Another angle of the way up. It is not as difficult as it may seem as there are good hand-holds. Actually, coming down is more difficult, and great care should be taken to avoid mishaps.




There are lots to see on the trail. Although this is a rather common butterfly, the markings on closer look are remarkable.



The pretty Peacock Fern. During our school days, we used to press this between the pages of books for weeks/months to be used for bookmarks. The beautiful shade of green/blue color never fades.



A map of the area and our tracks. We went in via the river route (green line) and out via the easier h/way route (purple line). Walking distance from Pump House to waterfall is approx 2km. Yellow line represent the road in by car.




That's it folks, for this trip.
