My friend Siang Hui is very good in discovering “new” waterfalls, using the Google Earth imagery. This time he had found a promising\u00a0one in Kelantan. We decided to make it a weekend trip, as Kelantan is far from KL. Siang Hui had booked a homestay in Dabong, the plan was to visit the waterfall on Saturday. Earlier that week I had caught a bad cough and a cold,\u00a0thought about not joining, but finally decided to go, as Siang Hui estimated the hike\u00a0to be relatively easy.\u00a0Siang Hui, Rani, Nic and Teoh could start only Friday afternoon, Aric and I left earlier.<\/p>\n
Encik Din, the owner of the homestay had warned that the direct route from Gua Musang to Dabong might be blocked. The bridge across the Nenggiri river had been destroyed during the catastrophic January floods,\u00a0and the temporary bridge might be closed because of heavy rain a few days earlier.\u00a0We decided to try our luck and found that he was right…:-) The temporary bridge looked passable, but apparently the authorities did not want to take risks. We had to go back to Gua Musang and make a long detour to reach Dabong. Of course we warned\u00a0our friends…:-)<\/p>\n\n\t\t
