Went trekking solo to Robinson Falls (trail no 9) after the rain. I strongly recommend that you have a buddy to tag along. Be extra careful esp after the rain, bumped into 2 couples that slipped and injured themselves on my way back. While walking in, there is one waterfall which is not maintained. Plenty of rubbish and plastics. There are a few red and white plastic markers on the trees and branches (recently added by the authorities to avoid getting lost) when you reach closer to the bigger waterfall, the trek becomes steeper and was slightly challenging going up and down (imagine doing it alone, silly but i did it). Once you see the waterfall, stay for a few minutes and head back the same way. Locals and police advised not to head down further to trail 9A (plenty of robberies reported) The waterfall is pretty dirty so avoid swimming😂 I met one pregnant dog and she was not aggressive. Heading back was alright, do visit the flower garden on your way back! Entire trekking took less than 1.5-2hours...
Read moreDisgustingly Polluted. It is painful for me to see. Industrialisation from day 1 of Cameron Highlands to be a tea plantations for money has lead this place into a polluted and sad landscape instead of the serene jungle it should be.
I trekked Jungle Trail 7, and Down through Trail 8, and Robinson falls is at the bottom of trail 8. Jungle trails are nice and give you an experience of the jungle, but there is virtually no wildlife. They have all ran off due to pesticides on fields and the loss of habitat. And, anywhere during my jungle trails I had 4g and reception. Which took me aback.
This place is a reflection of Money and Industry taking away from mother earth. It was very eye opening and was part of my journey to witness this first hand, but my next destination is Taman Negara, a 130 million year old rainforest, which is very pristine. If you go to Cameron Highlands for the nature you will become upset after a few days. Depending on how conscious you are about the...
Read moreROBINSON FALL is very nice small waterfall in the Jungle. However don’t have a big expectation. When you saw many bigger and more monumental water falls. This one will not be definitely very breathe taking for you. For me it was nice beginning of hiking the BEREMBUN Summit. One of the highest mountain in walkable distance from Tanah Rata.
HIKE to BEREMBUN PEAK: My hike as I sad started from the Robinsons waterfall (hike no.8). Path was sometimes quite challenging. Surface was muddy, slippery and terrain was quite steep. For the better imagination see pictures. On the summit you will be probably little bit disappointed because there is almost no view. But don’t worry! You will climb peak in Camron Highlands! There is a lot of options how to get on the top, just check the google maps and pick one you...
