A day's outing to the Gunong Ledang

 

Mount Ophir- The name sounds so mystical and so far away as well. The Malaysian Government in an effort to glorify its history has rewritten many new hear-says. Hence more legend of "Puteri" and leading to places that have taken the name after the legend.

How is the places? The pictures collected should tell more than a thousand words

 

There was a Gate before this place. Parking fees of Rgt 2 was collected prior to admitance to the Car Park.

Next to it -a Resort

This is Park Ranger's office on the right and Canteen on the left

   

A sketch of the Ledang Trail- right up to the summit.

From 16th April, all ascend to the summit  must be accompanied by a paid guide.

From the entrance, the paved trail ran on level ground

The main waterfall, looking down -should not be more than 200 feet drop.

 

A convenient point to pose with that famed waterfall

   

Above that main and massive drop was area of cascades. There are quite a few tiers as well

Wrong sequence! This is part of the concrete stairway to lead visitor up to the cascades above the waterfall

as

There were plenty of tiny little pools that could double up as Jacuzzi.

A close-up to see that satisfied "Customer's" look

   
And Wow! closer still-the clothed mermaids
   

Where did this suitor came from?

Nothing to worry -just our Dutch traveling companion

   

No swimming- just dipping the hands and legs

   

He! He! He! Photographs time!

Cannot reach home without them

   
See - even one parting shot is satisfying

It was a sort of Dreams come true type of trip - also seeing a real Waterfall -once more
