Panorama Hill

Panorama Hill is located in Sungai Lembing, Pahang. It is a hill that located just in the town of Sungai Lembing. The trail to the summit is full of staircases. For regular hikers, they can reach the summit just in about 20 minutes but for who are non regular then they may take up to 45 minutes. Actually there are nothing to see along the way. For those who like to take photographs, then it is a nice place for them.
From the summit, we can see the town of Sungai Lembing. You are encourage to hike the hill as early as six o'clock in the morning so that you can see the mist and sunrise. It is the most suitable time for the photographers to snap the photos. After the sunrise, you will feel that it has nothing to see.

Rainbow Waterfall

Rainbow waterfall is located in Sungai Lembing, Kuantan, Pahang. I am not sure whether its actual name is rainbow waterfall because we didn't see any signboard along the way to the waterfall. Since we can see rainbow from 10.30am to about 12 noon so we just named it Rainbow Waterfall.

To go to the waterfall, we have to take lorry or four wheels drive because the road is quite bumpy and we have to cross a few streams along the way. Due to the bumpy road, we have to take at least one and half hour to reach a broad river. It's not our destination yet but we have to cross the river by foot and start our hike.

For those who are regular hiker, they can reach the waterfall within half an hour but for who are non-regular they will take 45 minutes to one hour. We have to walk in the jungle trail and along the river before we reach our destination. We have to climb up the big rocks too so we must wear the shoes with good grip.

We are not so lucky because the rainbow was not so clear because lacking of water. Luckily our tourist guide Forest Ang has taken many beautiful rainbow photos with his advance camera.

Flora in Penang

I like to trek in jungle and hiking but I am not flora enthusiast. I have been in jungle for so many times but never observe the flora that found in the jungle. I am also not a photographer and don't like to take photographs. But after starting to write blog I have to force myself to take photos so that I have new article to write. Below are some photos of flora that I took during my last hiking from Lily pond to 46 via Oliver Hill. Please guest the name by yourself as I am an oaf about botanic

Gunung Ledang

Gunung Ledang is located in Tangkak, Johor or just about 30 minutes from Air Keroh Toll, Melaka. This mountain is reputed to be haunted by a princess. Before arriving at the foot of Gunung Ledang, we must go pass a small town called Sagil, about 25km from the town centre of Tangkak.

Before entering the park, we had to pay RM10 per person and a deposit of RM50 for the camping gear and food. The park authorities were quite strict about picnickers/campers littering the area. The deposit would be forfeited if the park rangers noticed that campers did not clean up after themselves. With all the administrative details out of the way, we headed towards our destination at Kolam Gajah. It was an easy trail even though it was high noon by the time we started our hike because the tall keruing and meranti trees shaded us from the scorching sun.

Along the way, leafy shrubs and vegetation, some with brilliant red and yellow blossoms, grew in abundance on both sides of the trail. Colourful butterflies fluttered among the flowers searching for nectar. After about 20 minutes, we arrived at Kolam Puteri which has a beautiful waterfall. The waters thundered down from a height of more than 100 feet above, crashing over boulders and rocks before hitting the pool at the bottom and then meandering gently down the hill. Since it was near to the entrance of the park, tons of picnickers were already there.

The flora we saw on the way up was amazing - the monkey cup hanging off the trees. After walking for about another hour, finally we reached Kolam Gajah. We were about 2000 feet above sea level, and the air was chilly. Our organiser not allowed us to continue the hike because he said that it is dangerous, so we had no choice but to have a picnic and swam at Kolam Gajah.
