\/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>Last year we were not successful. Our target was a waterfall in the Beruas region, discovered by Siang Hui. But when we arrived at the trail head, we were stopped by a\u00a0soldier. A\u00a0military exercise was going on and access was prohibited. \u00a0Pity.<\/p>\n<p>We could have tried the\u00a0same fall again this year, but the soldier was vague about how long the exercise would last, possible a long time. We didn&#8217;t want to take the risk. Instead Siang Hui suggested Lata Jala in the Bidor region, a waterfall he had discovered on Google Earth but never yet visited himself.<\/p>\n<p>Lata Jala, I said, I have never heard about that fall. But <strong>you<\/strong> have visited this fall already, he replied, and even reported about it!<\/p>\n<p>And he was right, in March 2010 I visited\u00a0this remote fall with Harry and Rani, here is the report <a href=\"http:\/\/stuif.com\/multiply\/page.php?album_nr=101&amp;owner=janstu\">Ulu Gepai<\/a> . However, when\u00a0I had a look at my own(!) report, I noticed the last paragraph:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<span style=\"color: #00ffff;\"><em>At 6 pm, after 9.5 hours hiking, and covering a distance of about 20 km, we came back to our car&#8221;<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p>A hike of 20 km, taking 9.5 hour? Forget about it, I could not do that anymore, was my reaction. But there is a shorter access route, Siang Hui said. And not only was he \u00a0right again, \u00a0I had actually used that route during a second trip, August 2010, this time with Rani and Richard.<\/p>\n<p>Here is a GE screenshot of our first hike, starting at the Gepai waterfall. Click to enlarge for details. A long hike as you can see&#8230; \ud83d\ude42 But notice the red line. On our way back we took a wrong trail, which probably \u00a0would have lead us to Kg Senta.

So we decided to go.<\/p>\n<p>But as it was rainy season, we should better start early. Also I was expected the same evening in Parit Baru, for the CNY party of Aric and his family. Siang Hui and Nick were already in Teluk Intan, celebrating CNY. Teoh was coming back from Penang, Rani and I started from the Klang Valley. The three of us decided to stay overnight in a Bidor hotel, meet Siang Hui and Nick for breakfast at 7:30 am, after that start the hike.<\/p>\n<p>Discussing preparations for the hike, Rani asked me, <span style=\"color: #00ffff;\">do you remember any river trekking?<\/span> In that case I will use my kampung Adidas. <span style=\"color: #00ffff;\">I don&#8217;t\u00a0think there was any river trekking<\/span>, I\u00a0replied him. And he agreed.<\/p>\n<p>On the 2nd day of CNY Rani and I met in Bidor for lunch and we checked in, the hotel was booked by Teoh who would arrive later. How \u00a0to spend the afternoon? Siang Hui suggested the <a href=\"https:\/\/waterfallquest.jimdo.com\/peninsular-malaysia\/perak\/seri-kampar-fall\/\">Seri Kampar Fall<\/a>, not far from Bidor and an easy five-minute walk from the main road.

I had forgotten to mark this crossing on my GPS and neither Rani nor I could remember whether\u00a0we had to cross the (Gepai) river or not.\u00a0So we tried first to find a\u00a0trail at this side of the river, wasted some time and finally\u00a0discovered that we had to cross the river, where we found the continuation of the trail. A few hundred meter further the trail reached the tributary Sungai Latajala with the waterfall not more than 500 meter away.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #00ffff;\">And there\u00a0the reasonably clear trail suddenly stopped.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>In retrospect of course we should have concluded that from there we had to river trek. But (see above) Rani and I did not remember any river trekking. So, while we waited, Siang Hui and Rani tried to find a way along the slopes of the river, trying both sides, chopping a lot, \u00a0scrambling up and down. It took more than one hour to come to the conclusion that the only reasonable approach would be river trekking.<\/p>\n<p>Here is a more detailed GE map of the last part. For those not familiar with the workings of a GPS, when you stay at the same spot for some time, the GPS readings will scatter around your location.\u00a0And when you are in a valley with steep slopes, the readings can be erratic, as can be clearly seen in the last sections of the green and yellow treks.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/stuif.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/jala-three-times.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"10947\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/stuif.com\/blog\/?attachment_id=10947\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/stuif.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/jala-three-times.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1029,913\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Jan Stuivenberg&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1486405418&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"jala three times\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/stuif.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/jala-three-times-300x266.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/stuif.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/jala-three-times-1024x909.jpg\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-10947\" src=\"https:\/\/stuif.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/jala-three-times.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1029\" height=\"913\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stuif.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/jala-three-times.jpg 1029w, https:\/\/stuif.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/jala-three-times-300x266.jpg 300w, https:\/\/stuif.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/jala-three-times-768x681.jpg 768w, https:\/\/stuif.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/jala-three-times-1024x909.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/stuif.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/jala-three-times-338x300.jpg 338w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1029px) 100vw, 1029px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>In the meantime it was already 1 pm, we had been\u00a0hiking for\u00a0more then 3.5 hours.
