This
is one huge area to get away with and to be among nature, and
which coincidentally contain the settings for every conceivable
outdoor activity. The best activity is to do nothing, relax and
enjoy the natural beauty.
These are some
activities anybody can do and suggested!
|
Here in the morning, the surrounding
is so quiet, peaceful and calm. It is reflected in the
water. Vincent had such a peaceful night too. There were
no mosquitoes! Although mosquitoes net is part of the
furnishings, but not needed. |
Enjoy
the serenity and practice your skills in photography to get that
perfect shot of nature!
| Or-just
take a boat tour to the numerous coves and valleys and
absorb the beauty of the tropical jungle. This is real
frontier land minus the uncertainties. Every tributary
and corner is so natural.
|
 |
 |
Join in
the fun; take a dip in the fresh and cold mountain stream
yourself.
You can have the whole pool to yourself. Clean,
cool and calm deep pool.
Here Vincent was having a whale of a
time.
|
 |
For those
who do not fancy vigorous activities can seat back,
admire the sight of the cascading waterfall.
The whole family can picnic with different waterfalls everyday.
|
Behave
like a tourist. Here is the view of the main administrative
center and jetty point.

Back
to civilization, the entrance to this majestic outback is also a
panoramic beauty.
 |
Our group members could not resist
such enchanting surroundings but to pose as tourist for
once. |
The Waterfalls
Finally,
without forgetting the subject matters, there are 6 common
waterfalls that the guides will be eager to show you:-
| [1] The Lasir
waterfalls |
|
[4] Lata Terap
Waterfalls |
| [2] Pertang Waterfall |
|
[5] Tembat Waterfalls |
| [3] Soak Waterfalls |
|
[6] Petuang Rapids
Waterfalls. |
And
- here are views of the some waterfalls.
 |
Most of the waterfall have ample
space for the picnic crowd and safe pools to swim. Others
like this one can be view from the boat. This group here
was more interested in getting their fishes than the view
of the waterfall. `This is the Lasir Waterfalls. One
of those "nearby" waterfalls about 16
kilometers from the jetty. This is a series cascades
dropping 150 meters in total height. Here the fall is
seen broken in splinters by the multi-tier protrusions
|
There
are so many falls here, their names and sizes are overwhelmed by
the wishes that you have time to spend with every one of them.
| Tembat is another popular
destination. The waterfalls are a series 5 steep cascades
with a total height of 80 meters. The river had
smoothen the banks of its path making space for good
campsites.
Very clear
clean trail will lead hikers to the top of the waterfall
for a panoramic view of its path and the lake.
