Lata Kedondong

Photobucket
Its been quite awhile since I last ventured into the wilderness. I was quite busy dealing with freelance stuff for the past few weeks. Kinda makes me miss the wilds a lot... PhotobucketOn October 25th 2009, 7 guys, 1 girl and 1 dog left TTDI around 7:30 am for Lata Kedondong. Lata Kedondong is located alongside the road from Batang Kali to Gohtong Jaya in the Genting Highlands. N 03 25.82' E 101 43.86'. There is a lower falls 5 minutes away from the car park which is easily accessible by everyone... To reach the upstream falls, one must trek 45 minutes pass a bamboo forest. I have to admit that i'm actually treking like a wuss this trip (kinda creeped by Eddie and his tiger leech sucking off someone's balls story). The upstream falls of Lata Kedondong is pretty unexploited, you will actually need a machete to clear the path... cool huh? Some sort of rainbow thing is visible at the upstream falls around 9:30~11:00 am. PhotobucketPhotobucket

The water there is freezing cold, but for some unknown reasons its also one hell of murky. I didn't get to take a good shoot at the upstream falls due that area being all time foggy/ misty. PhotobucketI didn't went up to the Upper-tier-falls as I'm too chickened to do so... There are quite a fair amount of wildlife in that area... Tiger leeches (fanged worm-leeches), tree frogs, and various insects. Heh... We also found a Genting Highlands road sign rammed down by some drunken driver. PhotobucketThat's all for now i guess... Peace... I think i did something wrong right before we left Lata Kedondong... I mean really wrong...

All the single ladies, that part covered by the genting highlands sign is actually GENTING HIGHLANDS... Woot! GG!
