My last trip to Sg Chilling was on 24.7.2011 (http://happyotrekker.blogspot.com/2011/07/sg-chilling-2472011.html).
We left Kuala Lumpur at 7 a.m. and stopped over at Kuala Kubu Bharu to have breakfast as well as to regroup with other members. It was about 9 a.m. when we left and arrived at Sg Chilling car park area at 9.30 a.m. After the registration, we started our trek at 10 a.m. The river crossings were a bit challenging due to high water level. After the 5th river crossing, we proceeded to climb the steep hill to reach our designated waterfall 11.30 a.m. The waterfall was beautiful and pristine. We spent about 2 hours and left at 1.20 p.m. On our way back, we took our time to take photos of the abundant nepenthes plants and made a detour to the iconic Chilling waterfall before leaving for home at 3 p.m.
Main trekking buddies: Elsie Mak, Stantley and Kang.

So the Chiling top fall is no longer an unknown gem.....
ReplyDeleteI hope the nepenthes ampullaria will survive!
Apart from us, there were another 2 groups. The trail is wide and clear. Guess many knew about the top waterfall but only the fit ones would bother to hike to this waterfall coz the main lower waterfall is equally beautiful though a bit crowded at times. Thank you for the scientific name for the monkey cups.
