Sg Chiling 11 Aug 2012

Somehow I am never tired of Sg Chiling. Sg Chiling waterfalls continue to provide the requisite tranquility for one to unwind and relax. This is my third trip for the year. The last trip was on 1 May 2012 (see http://happyotrekker.blogspot.com/2012/05/sg-chilling-152012_4.html).

We left PJ at 6.30 a.m. and met up with the rest of the members at Rasa Keng Lim Restaurant at 7.45 a.m. for breakfast before departing for Sg Chiling. Some of us took a long break at Kuala Kubu Bharu Dam to wait for a vehicle which had accidently missed the turning into KKB and headed towards Tanjung Malim. By the time, we all gathered at Sg Chiling for registration it was already 9.20 a.m.

At 9.25 a.m. we started our trek and reached the 4th waterfall at 11.20 a.m. Here we had early lunch and spent time relaxing by the cascading river. At 1 p.m. we started our return trek and stopped by the 2nd, 3rd and 1st waterfall for photography. Some of us took the opportunity to go for a short dip at the 3rd waterfall area.

Generally, the weather was good and the river crossings were easy due to the low water level during this dry period. Various types of monkey cups were abound along the trail whilst we only managed to spot 2 wild orchid flowers.

By the time we emerged from Sg Chiling, it was already 4.25 p.m. This trip would remain unforgettable because a member lost one Teva sandal and backtracked to look for it while another member accidently dropped and lost her handphone to the the gushing Sg Chiling river.

We had early dinner at Restoran Aik Khoon, Ulu Yam Bharu before returning safely home at 7 p.m.

Trekking buddies included Kathy Choy, Teo Kim Boon, Yeoh Seng Keat, Ong Chien Kiat, Jenny Lee, Agnes Chew, Cynthia Lim & hubby, Beh Soo Hia & Sin Su Tan, Sim Kee Sen, Vince Khor, Jason Lee, Jake Lee and two other friends.
