Sg Chilling 1 May 2012

My last trip to Sg Chilling was about 2 months ago on 26.2.2012 (see http://happyotrekker.blogspot.com/2012/02/sg-chilling-2622012_28.html). I could not hesitate to say no on receiving an invitation to join a group for this trip because I simply love the relaxing trek to the Sg Chilling waterfalls.

Trekking buddies included Elsie, Victor, Yeoh, Ong, Wun Nok & his 2 Pang friends as well as the Angsi Trekkers, namely, David Lim, Shampoo, Chi and Chong.

We all met up in front of the Rawang Food Court called “Try To Eat” at 8 a.m. before departing to Keng Lim Restaurant in Rasa town to have our morning breakfast.

It was about 10 a.m. when we started our trek. It took us 1.5 hours to reach our target 4th waterfall @ 640m asl. We practically had the whole place to ourselves to relax and to enjoy our meal. At 1 p.m. we started our return trek with stopovers at the 2nd, 3rd and 1st waterfalls. It was 3.30 p.m. when we finally exited Sg Chilling Fish Sanctuary. We stopped by Keng Lim again to have hi-tea enroute home. The journey home was painfully long due to slow traffic caused by the heavy downpour after Rawang town.

Sg Chilling 26 Feb 2012

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.

Sg Chilling 24 Jul 2011

The last trip was on 7 March 2010 (see http://happyotrekker.blogspot.com/2010/03/sg-chiling-732010.html)

For this weekend, we decided to go for an easy waterfall trek at Sg Chilling, now known as Ikan Santuari Sungei Chilling. Starting at 9.45 a.m., we took a relaxing trek of 11/4 hours to reach the waterfall at 11.07 a.m. The river crossings were easy. The water level was low owing to the recent dry spell. As usual, there was a good crowd of over 100 people.

We left the waterfall at 1.30 p.m. There was a slight drizzle by the time we left the Santuary at 2.40 p.m.

Overall, it was a easy relaxing trek for touching base with trekking buddies, namely Elsie, Sarah, Wai Chin, Ong, Christina, Engu, Poh Lian, Tam and Yeoh meeting new buddies, namely Jansen, Yvonne and Tong.

Sg Chiling 7 Mar 2010

The last trip was more than 2 years ago on 27.2.2008 (http://happyotrekker.blogspot.com/2008/02/sg-chilling-2722008_27.html).

Sg Chiling was as popular as ever with trekkers, picnickers and photographers. Starting at 8.30 a.m. we took a slow trek of 1.5 hours to reach the waterfall at 10 a.m. The trail which curved along the riverbank was flat and easy to trek. There were clear signboards showing where to cross the river. River crossings were easy as the water level was low obviously due to the dry spell. Generally, the place was as pristine as ever though the water was a little milky. The weather was pleasant enough for us to laze around without having to seek out shelter against the sun. We left the place at 12 noon and reached the head trail at 1 p.m. Along the way, we met more people indicating the popularity of the place.

Overall, an easy relaxing hike.

Trekking buddies: Horng Yih, Joo Wee, Choo, Kathy, Yeoh, Engu and Leng-Lei.
