A few years ago a waterfall friend of mine sent me a picture of the Upper Tebing Tinggi fall, taken from a helicopter. The fall looks impressive and is also clearly visible on Google Earth. Close to and a bit similar to the Lata Puteh<\/a> waterfall, which is visible from the Lenggong-Bagan Serai road. But this Upper Tebing Tinggi is more remote, so the question was, is it accessible?<\/p>\n

It became my dream, to visit this waterfall and see it with my own eyes…:-)<\/p>\n

\"Upper<\/a><\/p>\n

A few weeks ago I did a recce with my friends Paul and Rahim. Starting from the road, the slope is very steep, but fortunately there is a old water pipeline, leading to a water catchment. There are also old overgrown logging roads. We reached the river upstream of the (lower) Tebing Tinggi fall<\/a>, about 600 m from the upper fall. It seemed doable! Our recce is the red track in the map. Locations of Lata Puteh and Upper Tebing Tinggi are also indicted.<\/p>\n

\"Lata<\/a><\/p>\n

Because of its remoteness and keeping in mind my mishaps of last year, I wanted to have a strong team, who could carry me out in case of emergency…:-). Siang Hui, Teoh, Rani and Aric were willing to join me. Here we are ready to start our adventure.<\/p>\n

\"Start<\/a><\/p>\n

It was a tough hike, which took us in about three hours to the waterfall! I was really happy, that my dream had come true.<\/p>\n

\"We<\/a><\/p>\n

I have published a detailed report about our trip (nice food, more waterfalls) as a Stuif’s Adventure.<\/a> And here is a YouTube video of the waterfall:<\/p>\n
