Our Kenyir Expeditions for our Merdeka Holiday

After picking up the SPIN Network from Singapore from LCCT, the coach stopped by at Ampang to pick us up to start our expedition to Kenyir.

As it is during Puasa month, we had to settle down at Termeloh for our late supper and early breakfast.

Our boat house waiting for us.

We reached Kuala Terengganu very early in the morning. The boat is ready at the jetty waiting for us on board. Joe’s Mom the Chef for our trip cooked some curry chicken with some vege for our lunch.

The nice tree trunks in the lake

On the first day of our trip, we stopped in the middle of the lake and our plans was to overnight there. A very scenic view of the lake.

In the afternoon, we took a boat to Tembat Falls. A nice falls with a large pool but it’s not safe to swim in the pool as the pool is really deep and the under current is so so strong. According to our guide, that pool had took many lives. We settled ourselves at the lower part of the falls to have a nice deep.

During dinner, we had BBQ on the boat. The feeling of having BBQ on the boat is really nice. My first time BBQing in the middle of the lake on the boat.

The night was really beautiful with the beautiful moon in the sky. Wilson shared a lot of photography tips with us.

After breakfast, the boat started the journey to Saok Waterfalls. WOW… the water level was at least more than 30 feet less than our last trip during new year.

The Saok Waterfalls is really nice. The cool refreshing water at the falls. We all had a lot of fun at the falls. Nice hydro massage at the falls.

We started off our trip by hoping in the 4WD from KL.

Stopped at Karak town for our breakfast. After breakfast, Joe stopped by at the wet market to do some last minute shopping.

Our campsite

We then continued our trip all the way Jerangkang Falls. We reached the campsite around 12.30pm. Started to set up the tents. It started raining… A real bad weather to start off our camping. But it’s ok. With the rain in the afternoon, we are sure that the clouds will not be blocking our way for our Meteor watch at night.

We had a nice BBQ dinner. Around 8pm plus, everyone settled down near the falls to enjoy the stars in the sky.

Everyone gathering around the BBQ pit

A few of us took a early sleep and woke up at 4am. Wow… the stars in the sky are really great with thousand of stars in the dark dark sky. Meteors after meteors streaks across the sky… more than 20 meteors in less than 1 hour.
