jungle waterfalls camp

Jungle Waterfalls Camp
Ulu Terong, District of Taiping, Perak
<one of the best kept secrets!!!>

If you're looking for a nice escape from the stress
& rust of your week with your partner, friends or family
or even join a loose group of beginner trekkers....

this is it - part of the luvly, cool, clean &
refreshing waterfalls of Ulu Terong!

The hike is a mere 90 minutes' with 3 fifteen minute
stoppages over a relatively flat trail.
Heck..even a 3 years old Belgian girl from Mortsel
has been here with her mum!
and we also had a group of 50+ ladies & gentlemen
from Netherlands, too!

Over here, you can....

laze in the pool all day long!	fish for the " tengas "
do nothing but spend time with friends by the river	some prefer sliding down the river, too!

Wanna know what's the trail like?

you're surrounded by the emerald rainforest all the time!	you get to cross small jungle streams
no need to walk fast - just do the stroll	that's the giant " Umbrella " palm tree

What about accomodation?

it ain't much but it's home away from home.
and it's about 21C in the late nites, too!

What's cooking in the camp, by the way?

what else but glutinous rice wrapped in young banana leaves & cooked in bamboo!	participants get to learn how to prepare AND cook the bamboo rice, too!
looks like it's ready to be served with either chicken OR beef spicy curry!	we forgot to tell you - we also have a self service laundry here, too!

You have the choice of a Over-the-Weekend trip of Friday
late evening to Sunday afternoon
OR..
an extended Friday late evening and back
Monday afternoon trip!
<The Friday to Monday is highly recommended!>

some people even use this outing for a teambuilding getaway!

Here are some shots of the jungles & its inhabitants, too - well a few of them!!!
