Crazy Durians and Chamang Waterfalls 8th August 2010

Waterfall Survivors members started off the trip at 7.30am from KL. There was about 40 of us. We stopped by at Bentong town for breakfast. After breakfast, we went all the way to Chamang Falls.

The water was gushing from the falls. The thunderous waterfalls that took many lives in the past. The river was swollen that morning. The water level was very high.
