Simple Elegance!

This is what I’m waiting for…never been here before, so i’m very excited with National Park. However, the trip is just only 2 days and 1 night stay in Kuala Tahan which i think is not enough the explore.

Arrangement has been made among teams who will drive from KL. So we planned to meet at Gombak SHELL petrol station toward Karak highway at 7am. I bring all my family for this trip. Just to let them feel the nature especially my kids who really love this kind of activity. Mana ade budak tak suka mandi sungai? kan? oh ya, my in-law also join.

Sometimes the journey is not as what we planned. Hmmm
Emran & gang already in Karak highway. KingMarul is on d way while I just warm-up my car. Still in Keramat. Janji melayu! So, we decided to meet at Bentong PETRONAS station. I told them to drive slowly so i can catch up.

9:00am : Met all the teams @Petronas station. Take a light breakfast then continue to Jerantut. We drove slowly at 140km/h. The kelisa really fast even with 3 big fat people inside.. hehehe jangan marah ye?…

10:30am : Arrived Jerantut. Dr Jamal & the gang already there. We take another breakfast (again?) then continue to Kuala Tahan. Another 1 hour drive

12:00pm : Reached Aki Chalet. Check-in and prepare for the canopy walkaway trekking. We need to register @Perhilitan for permit & camera. If i’m not mistaken fee is RM10/person & RM5/camera (SLR la kot). Compact bole sorok dalam pocket. hehehe

01:00pm : At Canopy Walkaway. The trekking to the entrance canopy is harder than the Canopywalk itself. It’s about 50meter vertical. I bring my wife, Farhan & brother in-law only since yg lain takut nak manjat2 bukit ni…

My wife. Aik? Pegang tali tu takut ke?

After the 350m canopy walkaway… main jongkang jongket plak!

These are my Infrared collections.

Can you see my wife at the end of this canopy?

WOW.. pink tu?

03:30pm : Back to chalet for lunch and then free & easy activity. I just shoot Macro near the chalet. The rest dah pengsan kot! Zzzzzz

Night : We have a great time BBQ together. The food very delicious especially squid & prawn. Thank Dr Jamal for the recipe. Memang berbaloi baloi!

Sunday
Yeeyyyyy… Lata Berkoh! Can’t sleep last night! Mmg tak sabar dah…
We take 4 bots to Lata Berkoh. 5 person in each boat. The journey to Lata Berkoh is about 45mins. The landscape is wonderful. I’m speechless! Really love the scenery.
Lata Berkoh was so beautiful and definitely worth the effort to get here. The water was clear and cool but it has a slight brownish discoloration due to the shale stones commonly found on the riverbed. There were no other people here and it was so peaceful. There were a few cascades of water and a deep pool to swim but hazardous for swimmers!

Good morning friends! Are you ready to bring us to Lata Berkoh?

Team in 1st boat able to shoot Deer & KingFisher. They’re lucky!

Hmmm.. It’s my fault didn’t bring my Tele lens… See this guy? Manyak eksyen wooo!

Last point. We had to take a short trek to the waterfall.

The trekking to waterfall is easy just by riverside. 30-45mins walk. Also have toilet & rest area in between but not well manage. Bau hancing! There are few spots you can stop to shoot a very beautiful landscape..
This is one of it

I can feel it!

No one dare to make a first move to swim.. Takut kot! Air pun deras.. hmmm

This is the last sunset in 2009.
I’m late to catch the sunset as stuck in traffic-jam.. Only able to catch the blue hour

2010 Celebration. Shoot from Celcom roof top. Unfortunately, the firework blocked by some building. So not much coverage!

Not really family outing… this is more to terpaksa pergi berjalan-jalan My wife ada workshop dekat PD 2 hari.
Disebabkan anak bongsu masih menyusu badan, so mahu tak mahu kena la bawak family pergi sekali… Lagipun, Aku pun nak menyusu jugak

Masih dalam mood IR…
