Destination : Ah Pak San! Bukit Apek.
Departure Time : 8a.m.
Team : Andrew, Shazlin & I
Goal : have fun at the waterfall
The whole was.. tiring. tough fun.
We reached the place which was at Taman Saga, Ampang, at about 9a.m.
started hiking.
The trail was treacherous, muddy and tough. Uphill, downhill, across streams, and over fallen tree trunks.
Narrow paths, darkness, and lack of exercise took it's toll on us.
Took us about 2 hours to reach the waterfall. which was at about 11.30a.m.
cool mountain water wash away our fatigue as we soaked ourselves in it.
thundering waterfall deafen our hearing of loud city noise.
letting the water fall on our backs while sitting underneath the waterfall have us forget our troubles for a moment.
Met a bunch of regular hikers at the waterfall. They had lots of stock of food stored in a box at the waterfall site. They had some cool water boiled to make tea. It's cool to know that these people hike about an hour plus to just hang out there.
hanged out at the waterfall for about an hour +. changed, and started our tracking back at about 1 something.
decided to take the paths those regulars took. the 1/3 journey back was quite easy. but then, we came to a split road, decided to follow some misleading advice or an uncle who can't tell the difference between taman saga and taman segar.
So the rest of the journey was history. we got lost, not that lost, but didn't know where we were heading. and at last. came out in taman segar, somewhere near leisure mall... the whole journey back took us about 3 hours+.
We were too tired to hike back up to taman saga, So, took a cab to taman saga. It was then I realised that we were making a huge round to taman saga. just a hill with so many entry and exit points.
So, that was were the journey ended.
This looks so like a report. I wonder why, brain juice squeezed dry yesterday trying to logic out geometry and directions. should have kept east. But yeah, at least we were all safe and sound, not to mention dead tired.
