Chlling at Sungai Chiling?
Monday, October 19, 2015Sorry for the multiple posts in one day guys. But I thought I'd blog about it today before I forget.
Anyway, last Sunday, me and a couple of friends decided to go to Sungai Chiling. We met up at Bukit Jelutong and left around 8.45 am. It took us about an hour and a half or so to get there. We took a pit stop along the way because we saw a nice scenery.
To be honest I have no idea what that place is called so yeah. But you'll most likely pass it when you're on the way there.
So we parked a little bit far away as there was already many people. We got into the entrance and we have to register and declare if we have any food or etc as they will charge us BUT we can get our deposit back at the end of the trip if we keep the plastics and wrappers etc. I honestly think this is a good idea.
But first thing's first. I think I should list down on what you should bring/wear and such:
- insect repellant
- mineral water/drinks
- food
- money (for the entrance fee and the food and drinks you want to bring in)
- dry bag or cover your stuff with plastic in your bag because it will get wet!
- any shoe with a proper grip (be careful if you decide to wear slippers because you might lose it when you're crossing the river)
- dry clothes for you to change afterwards
- towel (IF you want to shower but the toilet is dirty)
- plastic bags and newspaper (if you don't want to shower, you can put the plastic bags on top of your seat so it won't get wet)
So there are about 6 river crossings altogether. I'm about 151 cm and the deepest it would get was about my armpit level, and that is towards the end. It wasn't that hard to cross the rivers. You just have to be careful because the big rocks in the river can be slippery. The water current wasn't THAT strong on the day that I went.
It took us about an hour to reach the waterfall. But the hike to the waterfall wasn't that hard. Trust me, I'm pretty unfit.
We reached the waterfall around lunch time and it was quite crowded. It's probably better if you reach there earlier. So we ate and chill and then we headed back out.
The hike back was probably easier. And it's a good thing we didn't stayed there longer because it started raining as soon as were done with all the river crossings. I wouldn't suggest to cross the river when it's raining. The water current might be too strong.
So once we reach the entrance, we had to sign out and claim our deposit. There is a place for you to shower there but lets just say it isn't the cleanest....so we just decided to wrap ourselves in our towel on our drive back. And I guess that's it!
