Berkelah - Survivor Style (part 2)

The lorry ride is a thrill by itself. You hop onto the back of the lorry, grab the bar attached to the lorry and get ready to rock n' roll! The ride takes about 15 minutes to reach the entrance of the hiking trail. The bumpy and rocky dirt road filled with massive pot holes and water holes makes the ride like a Motion Master simulation minus the comfortable seats. You have to avoid incoming tree branches from both sides of the dirt road. At the end of the ride you will have a firmer ass and a good warm up before you start your hike and not to mention the aerodynamic hairstyle, hehehe.

Upon reaching the entrance you will notice a small river cutting through the entrance with a welcome signboard. There is a small parking lot, toilets, changing rooms and a narrow tar road. You`ll also notice locals spending their weekend there, either playing water/bathing or washing their motorbikes. Due to the fact that it is the raining season, the lorry driver told me that we were the only group going in today! Its good news to me as the camping site will be empty and we would have the whole place to ourselves after many experiences with a packed camping ground and camping along the edge.

Confirmation was made with the lorry driver to pick us up at 2pm the next day. We unloaded our stuff to the benches at the entrance under a zinc roof top. Immediately everyone took out their mosquito patches, insect repellent and whatever that can protect them from insect bites, except me cause i`m quite used to it already. We quickly took a picture in front of the welcome arch and began our journey into the forest to the waterfall...
