During a “kaki” gathering on Christmas Eve, we decided to venture another beauties of nature near Kuala Kubu Bharu (KKB), the Chilling Waterfalls. It is one of the popular waterfalls in Malaysia.
We departed around 10am and headed to Kuala Kubu Bharu to have our lunch before proceeded to a water damn, about 30 min drives and finally arrived to Chilling Waterfall.
While on our way there, we were talking about the short form of Kuala Kubu Bharu which is KKB, the kids in the car suddenly laugh when they heard this KKB. Apparenetly, they learn something better and creative than us in the school, KKB means….. 
Let them answer you if you happen to meet all these youngsters as they learn thing better and faster than us now, are we adults moving backwards 
As people say, if you stop learning, does not mean that you are maintaining your current position, in fact you are moving backwards as things change rapidly and moving very fast now a days. Don’t you agree ? So….don’t stop learning even if your age is catching up, am I talking about myself ? :p
A view of a street in KKB
Our friend, Ghost King recommended this unique Hailam coffee shop to us.
Lady boss is serving us.
This is one of the reasons why we are here… the famous of Hailam Chicken Steak 
I was asked to pay the copy rights for taking a shot on this menu but in fact someone have to pay me for helping to promote this coffee shop, right Chee ? 
Some of the food served by this coffee shop
Mmmmm….seems very delicious !
My yummy Hailam Chicken Steak.
We found this at this coffee shop and I remembered Andy Lau was using this words in one of his movies but could not remember the title, anyone can help to refresh my mind ? Should I translate this….

But if you want to listen how to pronounce these Chinese words, copy all the Chinese Characters and paste them in a box over this website. You can select a woman or a man’s voice to listen how she/he read those words. Hey, a good website for those who want to learn Chinese !
This is the water damn we stopped over near KKB.
The information office at the water damn.
The shape of this plant is funny
Our national flower, I took it because it’s beautiful.
A bridge was built to cross over a river when the water damn constructed.
Welcome to Chiling Fish Sanctuary
The road leading to the entrance of registration office.
I thought it was a type of “rambutan” fruit but it is not.
The flower that was blossomed from the plant above.
The registration office and starting point to the waterfalls. On the right is a field where you can camp there, of course with a cleaned toilet built beside the field as well.
This signboard is erected beside the registration office. As you can see, we have to cross 6 times on a same river, isn’t it fun ?
Information you need to know about this lovely place here.
This was supposed to be the first river to cross but since a bridge is already built for our convenient, why waste ? Of course you can still cross the river if you like it.
Let’s start our fun……
A view taken on the bridge. As you can see, the river isn’t that deep, so help yourself for the fun of crossing if you like it :)
Our friend, “Ghost King” spotted this small bird nest along the way.
Another beautiful plant.
If I did not hear it wrongly from our explorer expert, Chee, this is what the monkey uses as a cup to drink water. I will try that on my next trip to see if it works or not
The initial path is a bit narrow, if you worry you will get some bruises, you can wear a pair of track bottom.
Another nice view of the river.
I notice this type of leafs only can be found near a moisture and less light places.
Don’t know what is the name but they are so lovely.
One has to walk slow and enjoy the tranquil environment then only you are able to find little funny insect like this 
Guess what is the size of this little species that we commonly found in the city ?
Only with the shoes I can tell you how big it is….well, I am wearing the size of 8 !
I think maybe because this little creature is living in a cleaned and less polluted environment where it can have a peaceful night to sleep, better nutritious food to eat and less worries, that’s why it can grow into this size.
Oh…little creature, how I wish I can be you….sleep comfortably, eat less chemical food and stay away from the crazy world outside there….
Time to have water crossing fun now.
If you have kids, must bring them along, they just love to play with the water !
Don’t ever think you can enjoy your fishing here. After all, the fishes also deserve to have their own peaceful place to live, right ? iv>
2nd river crossing.
Can’t resist to take another nice view that we hardly can find outside there.
This part is a bit challenging.
I really hope that the rules enforcement is strict here, especially those irresponsible trekkers who leave or throw rubbish as and when they like.
I urge all the kind people who love the nature as much as me to start educating your children or those that we know, be a civilized citizen and a good example to our children.
When you go into the jungle, always remember :-
Take Nothing but Photos
Leave Nothing but Footprints
Just in case you are a forgetful people, there are plenty of signboard to remind us to protect the river and environment 
The 4th crossing
As usual, our jungle expert here always share his knowledge with us unselfishly.
Prepare for the 5th crossing.
Kids always do not have the worries, they know the parents are always there to look after them whenever they need it.
Last hurdle to go folks..
Among the 6 crossing, this is the deepest
But not a problem for kids who know how to swim
Almost there…….
Yes…finally we are here.
Look at the beauty of this falls ! Can anyone notice something is on the rock ? Take a look again of this picture and the previous picture……
Still can’t figure out ?….. Ok, let me tell you……..Do you notice a lion’s head is somewhere around the rocks watching us ?
The pond is not deep and small enough for the kids to play.
Look at the curved-in shape, one can imagine it takes how long for the water to carve the shape, a good example for us to believe perseverance makes everything possible !!
Our ghost king is having fun….
You can walk across the water to see the tiny gap in between the rocks.
Just make sure an adult is there when kids want to have fun in the water, don’t go too close to the falls as it is deep there, unless you know how to swim.
For those who want to reach to the top…prepare to face this slope’s challenge !
Another pond at the top of the falls.
The peak is there but unfortunately we could not find a way to reach it.
The bottom of “V” shape is where we arrived earlier.
Can’t see it ? OK, let’s zoom in………
See the people there ? Yes, we climbed that high to feel we are at the top of the world !
Great views! nice pictures…
Is this suitable for family trip? (with children as young as 3yrs old?)
The river has many rocks beneath it and you have to walk very carefully. You got to have something to hold one in case you slip. If you carry a 3 years old kid, it depends on your water crossing skills. Still can be done if you have a backpack to carry him/her
It is a good place for a family trip if your children is above 5.
Just in case if you decide to go, I hope you can help to educate the children to protect and love the nature. Thanks for that !
Thanks for writing on the Chiling waterfalls. A group of us are planning to go there this coming May 1st. I will link this post to my email for my team to check it out.
BTW, I reached your blog via jimbo’s. I think you commented in one of his posts and placed your blogsite there.
Hi Euniceta,

Hi, I now can relate to what you wrote in this post. I was there yesterday with 12 other friends. A lovely way to spend time with friends. My next hiking trip will be Gunung Ledang, this 23th May.
