For a long time there has been a plan to visit a waterfall with Aric’s family, but it was not easy to find a suitable date. As 10 October was a holiday, we decided to make a trip to the Kanching waterfall<\/a> between Selayang and Rawang. When we arrived at the carpark, it became clear that we would not be the only visitors, it was full, we had to drive a bit further to an additional parking. Here we are ready to go, notice the many bags with food for the picnic \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are 7 waterfalls (and 2 more far upstream). Here are the first and the second fall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The third fall, the Kapor fall, is the most popular waterfall. Too crowded, so we walked further up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Where the cemented steps end, a trail continues, we expected that less people would hike that far. And that was the case, but there were still many people at my favorite fall no 5. I managed to take a picture of the fall without people!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We found a suitable, more quiet place between fall 4 and 5, a big rock where we could enjoy our lunch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There was a small cascade next to our rock, a perfect place to enjoy the cooling water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A few of us went for a while to fall no 5 to take a shower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During my waterfall hikes I always liked to leave a stone marker<\/a> at the waterfall. Here there was no need to do that because another visitor had already built two ones. In the right picture Zhi Le is blowing bubbles..<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ready to walk back. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Two views from the bridge. Left the rock where we had our picnic ( of course we left no rubbish) and the small cascade . Right looking down to fall number 4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Kapor fall was even more crowded now. Near the entrance we met an ice cream seller, I could not resist the temptation to have a roti ice cream \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We were still hungry and decided to go to Restoran Tom Yam Serendah, where we had enjoyed nice food several times in the past. Then it was a small basic restaurant near the main road, but now it had moved to a new location, very clean but less atmosphere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The food was ok, although the tom yam not as nice as before. Still cheap, RM 180 for 11 pax!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

After our lunch we were in the mood for coffee, we decided to visit the World of Phalaenopsis , which not only has orchids, but also a nice caf\u00e9. However, here there was again a massive crowd, so we only walked around and bought an orchid to take home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Driving back we looked for a kopi tiam, but we were not lucky. Finally we ended, almost home, in the DIB restaurant<\/a> in Damansara Perdana. DIB stands for Deaf In Business, it is a relaxed, very friendly place, where we come regularly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We had coffee, I was not yet hungry, had only a waffle with ice cream<\/p>\n\n\n\n
