Kemensah waterfall is located at Ulu Klang outskirt just behind the Zoo Negara. To get there, follow the MR2 ring road then take the junction at Zoo negara. Follow the road until you reach at the end of the road. You will reach Institut Budaya Baru Melayu. Ask the guards for permission to visit the waterfalls and park your car there.
The trip started with me and Razak at about 8.30 morning. To get to the waterfall it took about 45 minute. We planned to take a macro shoot all the way until we reached the waterfall. Along the way we met a few guys that were going to the same destination.
There were 3 waterfalls at this route. The trail was not that hard as there were signposts pointing the way.
As we walked the sound of water became more distinct. We finally reached at the 1st waterfalls. It was called Gubang Gajah. It was attractively breathtaking ! A huge well maintained waterfall with a cascades at the bottom. Unfortunately, you can’t swim here.
We met a few groups here. Brader with Leica lens, modeling photo shoot group and the group that we met along the way. We chatted and exchanged knowledge about photography.
At first, me and Razak planned to call it off as we were rushing to take photos of Le Tour De Langkawi at KL. But by looking at the time, we were late for that event. So we decided to join the group to the 2nd waterfalls.
The next journey took another 1 hour. This time there was no proper trail, just follow the stream in reverse. It was all wet and slippery walk. And yes, leeches walk ! Don’t be surprise there were 5 – 6 leeches on the foot ! And 1 even made it to my neck ! eewww !
For 1 hour adventurous walk, we were lucky to have made it at the 2nd waterfall. It is called Lata Sham. Not as big as the first one but good enough for photography. Razak even took a chance to swim.
Next, we were aiming for the 3rd waterfall. The 3rd waterfall took another 1 hour. We were exhausted so decided to end the journey here. We didn’t want to take the risk. We walked back to the entrance safely. The journey ended at 4 pm. We drove to the nearby McDonald’s restaurant for some refreshment.
