It was past 11 in the evening at Queen Street Bus Interchange and the 52 Palakaibiganers are ready to go. Excited! It's a long journey for sure, since Kuantan is located in state of Pahang Malaysia, 352 kilometers away from Singapore. We boarded the bus and almost everyone are preparing to sleep, except those people at the back! Preparing to commit a crime, hay.. mga lasinggero! Tsk! (Sino bang mga nasa likod?? hmm..)

suspects!

The sun is about to rise when we arrived at Kuantan Bus Terminal, still sleepy since inuman session ended around 3am. We took a cab, breakfast, then go straight to JOP. But before we reach the JOP, we need to cross the river and walk for 10 to 15 minutes because the bridge (few hundred meters away from JOP) collapsed! A good stretching..

At the JOP, everyone is too busy for the final preparation - packing (again..), stretching, change costume, load distribution, etc. As everyone seems ready, we Pray.. then the trekking begins..!

Berkelah has an easy trail from JOP to campsite. It took us 45 minutes (more or less) to reach the campsite - that's around 10 in the morning. We pitch our tents, lunch teams start preparing, and some of course, take a rest and enjoy the view..

kainan time!

saraaap!

swimming time! - near the campsite

Time check - 1pm. It's time to resume our trek. Some of the oldies decided to stay at the campsite to keep an eye on our stuffs (weh? mag iinom lang kayo bwahekhekhek). And the rest decided to continue. This is the hard part! The trail from campsite to the main waterfalls is more challenging. Most of the trail are solid rock and a river on your right. Some rock formation along the trail are too steep and slippery. Whew!

trails to main waterfalls

After long battle, finally we reach the magnificent waterfalls - very rewarding indeed!
