GPS Coordinates : N3 35.749 E101 45.093

The Chiling waterfalls is a excellent place to unwind for city folks. The journey to Kuala Kubu from Kuala Lumpur city center take about 1 and a half hours and the remaining journey will be on foot thru jungles and rivers path. The whole journey maybe tiring but definately a remarkable trip to remember.

Many people fishing on the bridge near the water dam.

A waiting game.

Seaching for treasures at a colonial era bridge.

A greener world is a better world.

The water flowing gently down the slippery rocks. Good footwear is important to go thru the wet slippery terrain.

We have to cross the rapid rivers to get to the other side.

Finally our destination of the day, Sungai Chiling Waterfalls. I can say one of the best waterfalls in Selangor.

Man made stone structures.

You can feel the energy of the water flowing down from above.

Not recommended to go near the waterfalls as the strong current may pull you down and many people tragicly died here.

Be part of the conservation to protect our natural habitats before we lose it all.

After a tiring hike thru the jungle trails, have a cool bath on the clear water of Sungai Chiling.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Bukit Taboh is located in the District of Gombak in Selangor. It is also localy known as Bukit Hangus. The hill is very prominent and could be seen from the Middle Ring Road 2 travelling from Seri Gombak to Ampang. The hill could be access through Taman Melawati by following the Genting Klang Road which will lead to the Klang Gate Dam.

The hill, which is less than 1000 meters, is a quartz/limestone combination formation. Climbers enter the hiking trail via Kampung Klang Gates, 50 meters from the gates of the Klang Gates Dam, at the back of Taman Melawati for a quick 3-4 hours climb. The Gombak Forest Reserve and Klang Gates Dam are beside the hill. The peak offers spectacular view of the dam.

Our hiking started around 8 in the morning and the whole journey took us about 2 and half hours to complete. The sunrise was not as what we expected as the day was cloudy and kind of hazy. Overall the journey was satisfying and we had a very good exercise. View my photo gallery as follows:

These photos I took using a film SLR and scan into digital photo. Resolution not as nice as current digital SLR. The journey to the peak of Mount Kinabalu took 3 days total and you must be physically and mentally prepare for it if you want to enjoy the beautiful sunrise at 4,095m.

View of the top at the foot of the mountain. Seem so far away.

Very rocky surface before reaching the summit.

I think this is Planet Mars on earth.

Land above the clouds.

Ropes available to assist climbers to reach the summit.

This was the view from the summit. Ya I make it.

Ayer Itam Forest Reserve Puchong- Temoi Waterfall Part 1

Located at the heart of Puchong, it is truly a gem in the city. Hopefully we can preserve this beautiful piece of art for our next generation. The journey by foot to the waterfall took about 1 hour and we have two orang asli guide to bring us as the area is under the UPM Forest reserve. Strictly no unauthorized visit. This is frankly good to preserve the nature from its worst enemy...Human...
