I asked the friendly Bentong folk what is next best attraction after Kow Po Ice Cream<\/a>. Everyone recommended another milky thing. The Chamang Falls. So I drove 7 kilometres on a lonely, winding and scenic route. At the end of the road is a beautiful, long, cascading waterfall with a gentle drop of about 100 feet. Hearing its roar alone, is worth the trip.<\/p>\n

I was in the Gunung Tahan National Park area recently and had to take a boat for 45 minutes before trekking another 2 hours to see\/hear a similar waterfall. Here, I drove right up to the edge of one. It is a drive-in, walk-in waterfall \ud83d\ude42 There are ample parking lots, toilet facilities and yet strangely; not one soul was around.

I have been in the jungle all by myself at night and didn’t feel spooked. I felt a little scared here. It was creepy seeing all the man-made structures around and not a single human was to be found. Like a proverbial ghost town.<\/p>\n

Photography notes: A 1\/2 second exposure was the slowest speed I could attain without a ND or polarising filter. The slow shutter created the creamy, milky look in the fast flowing water. A tripod was required but since I didn’t want to spend too much time for safety reasons, I placed the camera on a rock.<\/p>\n
