Ulu Geruntum

Chanced upon this location about a month ago. Nice waterfall and very friendly village of Orang Asli. There was no name given so I just referred to it as Geruntum Waterfall.







Native kids having their bath(?) and fun at the same time.

Bath time over when big sis called them home.



The lady who was at the kitchen is so friendly. The kids here too are the friendliest OA kids I have came across.
