Intimidating and
treacherous Fall
Lata Nyangung
The
fall is also up in the hills along a lower stretches of the
Perdak River as compared with Lata Seminyang. Follow the same way
as to the Lata Seminyang. A kilometer or so after the Power
Station, the track levels off.
The
landmarks to watch out for at this point are, {1} the river
should be about 200 meters from the track down a gradual slope,
{2} you can hear it roaring through the rapids. {3} all of a
sudden the river disappears and in its place, a deep gorge with
heavily forests jungle.
Descend
to the part where the river can be seen. The undergrowth here is
sparse.
|
In the appropriate place, you could
faintly detect a used trail. Very soon at the river, you
will see a small falls. Only about 2 meters high.
|
After
the fall, the river can no longer be seen. On your right you
should be seeing a deep gorge as if you are standing high on a mountain pass looking down. There is nothing to be seen as the
river has fallen over a cliff.
We are so used to approaching a
waterfall from the front and then to satisfy our
curiosity, slowly making our way to the top.
This time
around, it will be funny sensation to approach a fall
from its back and go down to see how it looks from the
front.
The fall just kept dropping without
sight of the bottom.
Here is a bird's eye view of the
fall. From this angle, the fall is down 80 meters and
then the next drop out of our view.

Having descended half the distance
of fall No.2, the surrounding is a sheet of white colored spray. You can also see traces of vines that
helped in our descend to this level.

precariously close to where the water was rushing
Go on! It is nice feeling having
taken the risk to climb down the steep wall.
We wouldn't
advice you to follow suit unless you have some prior
experiences in rock climbing!.
