Ulu Yam fall
On 11 February 2007, I joined a small group of hikers to explore a waterfall near Ulu Yam. Edwin, a member of the Dutch Expat Community (NLV) had been there before and was our guide.
After about 1.5 hour we reached the main fall. Quite tall but no pool. Following the river upstream, we arrived at an adventurous passage where we had to croos a narrow gorge.
Final preparation for the NLV trip. On 22 June 2008 we went again and this time my friends Gabriel, Richard and Rani joined us.
The NLV trip took place on 19 July 2008. About 15 pax, everything went well. Edwin had arranged for a guide who during the hike explained a couple of jungle survival tricks. like building a shelter and collecting drinking water from vines.
The gorge was for many the highlight of the trip. Actually it was easy to avoid the gorge by climbing up the rocks. We didn't tell them, a few found out by themselves ;-)
