All my friends should know by now that I am addicted to waterfalls. My website Waterfalls of Malaysia<\/a> contains almost 180 waterfalls, most of which I have visited personally.<\/p>\n

Yesterday I have added two more to my list in the Bentong region. Bentong has a famous waterfall, the Chamang waterfall<\/a>, a dangerous one, almost yearly people drown here!<\/p>\n

Here also is the start of the long trail up to Gunung Rajah. Recently my friend Siang Hui had discovered two more falls along this trail.<\/p>\n

Visiting those two falls was the target of Rani and me. The month of the Hungry Ghosts had just passed, so it should be safe, LOL.<\/p>\n

After a steep climb up from the Chamang car park, we reached a nice level road, leading us via an Orang Asli village in about 1.5 hour to the first fall, baptised Lubuk Chamang by Siang Hui.<\/p>\n

And a magnificent lubuk it was! The fall was not high, but strong with a huge, deep pool in front of it. A good place for a coffee and a dip.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately I was stung by a bee here. Maybe a Hungry Ghost, lost on his way back to his grave? Bees like me very much, because I am a sweaty person. The bad thing is that I am allergic for them. After I had a near-anaphylactic shock, two years ago, I always carry antihistamine tablets, and even a Epipen<\/a> in case of emergency.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Not needed this time<\/p><\/div>\n

I did not need it this time, but still I had an uncomfortable half hour, before the allergic effects subsided. After I had recovered, we decided to continue to the second fall, in a tributary of the Perting river. This fall was tall, but not much water.<\/p>\n

During the trip I took pictures with my iPhone. Combined with the GPS data, it resulted in an EveryTrail report Perting Fall <\/a>. Here is a Google Earth screenshot of our hike<\/p>\n
