My last “new waterfall” was two years ago, in 2023. In my blog post CNY 2023 Waterfall Trip<\/a>, I explain why I no longer explore (new) waterfalls. This year I didn’t join the traditional CNY waterfall trip. Here is a photo where a few of my waterfall gang visit the Katoh Upper Fall. Would have been too much for me \ud83d\ude09 .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joshua Tee, who is now the active webmaster of Waterfalls of Malaysia<\/a>, suggested to organise a trip to an “easy” waterfall, only a 15 minute hike, an easy trail and a pristine fall. That sounded attractive, although I wondered how a waterfall with easy access could still be pristine. I joined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One day before Chap Goh Meh, Joshua picked me up from home and we drove to Tanjung Malim where we had breakfast and met the rest of the group. Many of them I had met before. First photo, from left to right Joshua and his partner Eve, Pooi Yee, and my “waterfall godson” Nick. In the other picture JT Ong, Sam, Iwen and Kendrick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After breakfast, we continued to Behrang Station, where it became clear how a waterfall with easy access can still be pristine: to reach the trail head you have to follow plantation roads where a 4WD is needed. So all nine of us moved into Joshua’s Ford Ranger. Here we have arrived at the trailhead. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And indeed, from here it there was an easy trail to the fall, about 600 meter. To cross a small stream, I preferred to walk through the water and get my feet wet \ud83d\ude09 .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is the Gersay waterfall, my waterfall sifu Khong would call it a baby fall. A nice wading pool, and attractive surroundings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joshua had suggested that we all bring some snacks and drinks, he had brought two foldable picnic tables !<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My contribution was a bottle of wine, here Ong is tasting it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was a nice leisure trip, of course many photos were taken. The last photo shows Joshua and me, the present webmaster of WoM and the former one \ud83d\ude09 .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We didn’t stay long, as the plan was to have lunch in Tanjung Malim. Here Eve and Ong are bringing back the tables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Tanjung Malim we went to restaurant Fu Man<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Nice food, I wanted to be the host and pay the bill, but the others didn’t allow me. Malaysian hospitality at its best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is the location of the Gersay fall on Google Earth. Tanjung Malim bottom right, Behrang Station top left. The plantation road in red, the short walk in green.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
