Almost ten years ago, in 2006, a friend took me to Bukit Apek. It is the blue track in the image below (click to enlarge). At that time I was not aware that there were waterfalls…:-). When I was told there were waterfalls, I went two more times, one time to the lower fall\u00a0(red track),\u00a0a second time to the upper fall (green track). It resulted in a page on my waterfall website: Bukit Apeh falls<\/a>\u00a0(I understand now that Apek is the\u00a0correct\u00a0spelling).<\/p>\n

On this page I wrote:<\/p>\n

It will be interesting to see if it is possible to follow the \r\nstream down into the Ulu Langat Valley. The distance to the \r\nnearest road is about 1 km, as the crow flies. \r\nAltitude difference about 200 m\r\n<\/em><\/pre>\n
When I talked about it with my Kiara friend Peter Leong, he got interested and recently he and a friend did a recce. It is the red track to the right. At the end of the road, passing a water treatment plant, a clear trail led to a water catchment. Here the trail split, they explored the right fork, it might lead to the Lookout Point. The left fork should lead to the falls.<\/p>\n
To check if that was true,\u00a0we went back with a few friends. From left to right Steven, Chee Seng, Suat, Chee Kwan and Peter. An afternoon trip, we started at 2:15 pm<\/p>\n

\nTo reach the trail, we had to pass the water treatment plant, which was heavily fenced with barbed wire. Warning us to be careful, Peter himself got hurt and needed a bandage.<\/p>\n

The trail follows an old pipeline to a small reservoir. One of the most scenic trails I have walked! Shaded, mossy, Lord of the Rings atmosphere.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
