In 2009 my friends Siang Hui and Harry (\u2020) discovered beautiful waterfalls in the Dipang river. A few months later I visited these falls myself, here is a report<\/a>.\u00a0During this trip I met Jinnah, a friendly Semai from Pos Dipang. He told me that that were more waterfalls upstream. Within a period of a few months, I came back three times. The last time Jinnah took my friend Rani and me to the very remote upper falls. The report can be found in Three times Dipang<\/a>.<\/p>\n

That was four years ago.Time to go back, with a group of friends. A camping weekend. We met as usual at the mamak near my condo for breakfast. From left to right Aric, Janine, Edwin, Teoh and Nick.<\/p>\n

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

On our way to Pos Dipang we picked up Eddie at Tanjung Malim. After we arrived in the Orang Asli kampung, we asked for Jinnah, as I had not been able to contact him earlier. It was nice to meet him after four years, but at first it did not look good, because somebody had died recently in the kampung and he was not sure if he could guide us into the jungle. We went with him to the penghulu to ask permission to camp.<\/p>\n

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

That was no problem, but the penghulu asked us to report at the police. While Edwin went to the police station, we went already to the campsite where Rani and I had camped four years ago. At first Jinnah was not happy with the location (too close to the river) and suggested a location a bit further upstream.<\/p>\n

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

But after some discussion we decided it was better to camp at this spot. Hurriedly we put up our tents, as the sky was darkening.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
