Lower Quartz
Ridge Fall
This
is one of the 2 waterfalls found in the area. It is hidden in
pristine jungle half an hour drive and a long 15 kilometers trek
from the KLCC tower. In this place visitors will get to sample
the authentic Malaysian Jungle environment. Most suited for those
overseas guest with limited time but need to know what this
country can offer.
Therefore
it is never intended for its location to be publicized.
Occasionally, Yong did take his Backpackers friends to savor this
very tempting ambience . Get some one like him who knows the
place. Do not attempt to seek your directions through the myriad
faint paths as this is part of the forest that stretches into
Gunong Nuang.
The group found a river crossing to wash up
and took a short rest beneath the canopy. |

Last portion of the way was to make our way
through dislodged boulders to reach the waterfalls at the
base of a cliff. |
The waterfall, very dramatic is well concealed among the heavy foliage. The bright white
colored sheet of water was a sure welcoming sign. An end
to those bashings through the seemingly endless forest. |

Everybody sat there, jubilant and seemed
lost in this awfully natural spot. |
When they regained their composure, back to
playing in the cold water. The whole place was rocky and
there was not much of a pool. The base was also another
narrow ledge where the river immediately rushed pass on
its way downhill. |
|
|
Fragment of wall below the ledge had
collapsed. The river water just overshoot the top edge,
projecting an impression of a near vertical drop to the
base. |
Here a view of that top ledge and from a
position of a cliff wall higher than the waterfall. In
this photograph, water was flowing from left to right and
drop! |

The trekking
was wonderful and rewarding. Mushroom, fungi, tree trunks scratched by giant paws and signs of wild boars presence.
