The last trip was on 5 July 2009. (See http://happyotrekker.blogspot.com/2009/07/lepoh-waterfall-5-july-09_6.html). It was then a fruiting season and the place was vibrant with activities. However, this time round the picture was different.
Starting at 9 a.m. we did a slow trek and observed that the place appeared a bit desolated. A wooden bridge has collapsed. We did not bump into any soul throughout the trek. The trail was parch dry and not slippery which made trekking easier. The trail was however obscured by fallen trees at three different areas and we have to make short detours.Not a single leech was in sight along the trail or at the waterfall area, given the prevailing hot weather.
We reached the waterfall at 11 a.m. Except for a group of campers we literally have the whole waterfall place to ourselves to enjoy - which was a bonus for the place is often crowded. The water flow was still strong. The cool crystal clear water was inviting enough to attract for the youngsters to wet themselves.
After lazing around for 2 hours, we left the place at 1 p.m. and returned to base at 2 p.m.- at record time of 1 hour trek.
A pleasant trip with trekking buddies Kay Wah, Renuga, Adibah, Elsie & Leng-Lei.
