A daredevil tumbling down into the water! The worst thing that could happen is - he could have a crash-landing against those rocks. Chamang waterfall is easily accessible from Bentong town in Pahang. There's a stretch of winding road of about 7km from the town. The best part is that there's a car park just next to the fall so you don't need to hike. The waterfall is huge with lush green forest surrounding it. There're also stairs of trekking path after the suspension bridge. We came during the dry season, so it's considerably safe. During the rainy season, water flow could swell to a much wider area making it dangerous to play in the water.  A series of waterfalls zig-zagging from the forest with its own sunken plunge pools - made it ideal for a dip and water play. You could not help but feel so refreshed at the pool, probably cos of the negative ions from the moving water. The sound of gushing, whooshing water over rocks is really therape...

The sleepy main street of Sg Lembing town, which is 48 km from Kuantan in Pahang. We arrived on Wednesday, and this place looked like a ghost town. Closer to weekends, the town is alive again. We saw tour buses and cars streaming in steadily, and the old shophouses and market place sprung into action. The main street from the old tin mining days This town is known for its six hanging bridges across the river, legacy of the British tin-mining era. Most of them are still in use for walking pedestrians as well as bicycles and motorcycles. A hanging bridge connecting the main street to the residential houses. The old wooden bridge was replaced by the newer concrete one. A hanging bridge was seen beside the concrete bridge. It's a place where the old and new co-exist side by side! A local resident commuting on the hanging bridge. This modest town served the biggest underground mine in the world, and the 2nd deepest mine after Bolivia in its heydays in ...

This is the kinda backdrop when we started our journey to the jungle to see the famous Rainbow Waterfall at Sg Lembing, Pahang. We're seated on a few planks at the back of the pick up truck.  A close brush with nature.  Beautiful sunrise around 6.30am with seas of clouds. The journey was the most memorable. It was a roller coaster ride of more than an hour, speeding on rugged terrain and dirt tracks. Chilly wind brushing against our cheeks, awakening us to the scent of the jungle. There was a huge thunderstorm the night before, so creating many challenging mud tracks along the way. Breathtaking views.... A logyard in the midst of the Permanent Forest Reserve. What a spoiler! They're taking out small- diameter trees, which is really a cause for concern. A changeable hawk eagle flew past our truck and rested on a huge branch in the early hours. Also a fruitless chase of a partridge bird and a junglefowl! Our truck came to a stop...
