Day 4: Jelawang Peak Waterfall
Jelawang waterfall
Day 4: Jelawang Peak Waterfall
Seawal 6 pagi kami dah bangun, bersihkan diri and buat apa yang patut and then duduk menonggok lagi di puncak Air terjun Jelawang. Same activity like yesterday, amik gambar lagi and tunggu carpet awan keluar. Sungguh menghampakan… kabus dah banyak dah tapi tak naik2 pun sampai ke puncak… and we could see it accumulated on the other side of our place….tukar port lah plak awan nie. Maybe not our lucky day. Tapi takpe tunggu sunrise pun menarik juga sambil2 tu buat photoshoot session yang tak sudah2 from all of us. Seriuosly sangat cantik view from top of Jelawang waterfall. I wish I could stay there every morning just to see the spectacular view.
Setia menanti awan yang tak kunjung tiba |
Best juga kan kalu hari2 pun macam nie |
Sunrise but no sign of carpet awan

Since, no sign of carpet awan, kami dengan kecewa nyer pun balik ke campsite and prepare breakfast for our last day today. Menu pagi tu cuma Meehun, telur dadar n cucur jer. Buat alas perut because before 12pm nak makan lunch pulak and also packing for trip back to Resort.
Prepare for breakfast |
After breakfast, we continued our last activity, mandi2 di Jelawang waterfall. After 1 hour, we returned back to our campsite, having lunch and packed everything for trip back to Jelawang Resort. But this time, Uncle Adam promised to bring us crossing the waterfall that we missed it 2 days ago due to weather. The reason... if it is rain, we cannot crossing the waterfall because too dangerous since the water from top cannot be predicted.
Our last day at Baha's Camp |
Luckily, on the way back, the condition on that time allowed us to pass thru the waterfall. Alhamdulillah, finally we got the chance to witness the beautiful of the highest waterfall in southeast Asia from kaki gunung Jelawang. Memang sungguh memukau. I guaranteed, you will not gonna miss these wonderful moment. We spend about 20 minutes there, relax and of course captured the beautiful moments there. Rarely people get this chances, so, make the best of your time when you were there. Taking photos and of course having fun.
Unforgettable moment |
Actually the track thru the jelawang waterfall is much shorter and less tougher compare to the track thru Jungle. It saved 3o minutes of your time.
After descend from Jelawang waterfall peak, masing2 pun mandi2 n buat apa2 yang patut. After that, we proceeded to RnR Dabong, having dinner before balik. On the way nak turun tu, sempat Abe Van kami stop kat satu tempat where you can see the view of Jelawang waterfall from far. Sempat abe nie kasi tahu, kalu kita tengok dekat2, actually we could see a “face”, air yang jatuh dari peak Jelawang tu actually air yang jatuh dari dahi turun ke hidung and both side of the waterfall, boleh nampak seakan-akan mata. Haah lah... tapi sebenar nyer aku ambik masa juga nak imagine apa yang dia cakap kan tu….mase dah turun bawah tu baru aku perasan, itupun after aku zoom in photo captured in my camera.
Can u see the Jelawang waterfall just behind of us |
Jelawang waterfall Close-up mode... do u notice something? |
Tahu tak macam mana “Dabong” ni dapat nama. According to our Van driver, long long time ago ade seorang Mat Salleh nie kasi nama kat sungai yang menghubung kan estet nyer. Mat Salleh ni kasi nama Double River tapi faham2 lah orang kelate nie nak sebut pun susah kan…so, lama2 “double” pun become “Dabong”. So, macam tu lah citer nyer.
After makan, kita orang proceed to Dabong railway station…mase tu dalam pukul 6.30 petang sudah. Oppss…lupa plak ade tempat yang kami tak snap photo lagi, jeng jeng jeng… signboard Dabong yang terletak kat simpang jalan. Apa lagi kami pun minta lah abe driver stop jap and snap a few photos. Not only that, kami patah balik sebab ter miss lagi satu beautiful port nak amik photo…atas jalan yang menghubungkan Dabong n Jelawang. Kalau kita orang tak nampak grup Azli n geng stop kt situ memang tak terfikir pun nak patah balik tapi Abang Van dah cakap kat situ boleh nampak 9 peaks, so, apa lagi… "abang boleh patah balik tak". Nasib baik lah Abe ni sporting giler. Memang layann lah.
Welcome to Dabong |
Actually, you can view clearly the nine peaks only if u were on the bridge….but that time there was thick cloud, so, we can only viewed a few peaks only….emmmhh ok lah maybe not our lucky day to witness the 9 peaks. Next time….Insyallah.

Day 4: Dabong Train Station
By the time sampai, sempat lah juga kita orang shopping kat kedai Uncle Adam, the only kedai yang ade kat Dabong which u can shopping. Ok lah kedai ni, complete with souveniers for pelancong jakun macam kami ni. Kita orang semua sepakat beli t-shirt Mount Stong color biru sebagai kenang-kenangan. Aku sempat grabbed sticker keter yang ade photo 9 peaks which u can view from the bridge yang menghubung kan Dabong n Jelawang.
Our train scheduled to be at 9.30pm, so, since we still have one hour before the train arrival, we all make use of our time taking group photos at Dabong train station but that time already dark but still we have fun. Mase mula2 sampai dulu semua pun macam tak kisah sangat nak amik gambar kat Dabong train signboard dah time balik ni baru lah ingat nak amik gambar yea… nak tunjuk t-shirt baru lah tu.
Before train arrives, we still had a chance to chit chat with Uncle Adam for the last time and He still reminded us to keep our promises to come in Jelawang again and conquered all the nine peaks. Insyallah Uncle, I already fall in love with Jelawang… how can I forget that. Ok, I’ll try my best to keep that and make sure the rest of Geng Gunung also remember that as well. Rajin betul Uncle nie, send us sampai train datang.
Train arrived as per scheduled and this time most of us taking the Koc E1 where you can have sleeping bed for the next 12 hours travel. My sleeping port still the same… the upper bed. It’s OK, still, I had a good night sleep all the way back to KL plus with beautiful dreams.
