Rainbow Waterfall-Rainbow, is COMPLETE

People always aim and think of travel to some other places outside their country, but in our lovely Malaysia, there actually full of wonderful and amazing tourism destination that u may never know. My friends said I’m having my Cuti-cuti Malaysia time, YES I DO. I’m keep on traveling and hanging out to different parts in Malaysia during my university life. I’m enjoying the process of traveling much and most important keep some “trace” after each journey. So, for me, life is always companion with traveling, and traveling always COMPLETE with sharing…

And , Rainbow Waterfall finally disappeared from my “Travel Wishlist”…Hurray

Rainbow waterfall is located in Sungai Lembing, Pahang, Malaysia. I had my first visit to Sungai Lembing town last year on 25^th July and re-visit here again after 3 months later. Really is a wonderful trip together with my gang of travel-mate to somewhere that is far away from the bustle of city, relaxing the messy mind and enjoying the natural…Sungai Lembing is now famous for its Rainbow Waterfall and Panorama Mount, you should never miss them up if you got chance to have a visit here. And during my first visit, we went here just for the Rainbow Waterfall…

Wow wow…beautiful Rainbow just in front of your eye. Amazing ~

Rainbow waterfall appears to be a very hot tourism spot recently until it also been reported in few newspapers. Good good, Malaysia have one more eco-tourism spot. To meet with rainbow, must always have fate with her, and because we have fate, we can saw very beautiful rainbow. No doubt, is the real rainbow!!!

I still remembered that I watched a movie before where inside appear a dialog: “with believe and positive thinking, it is possible that two rainbows will appear together in the sky at the same time too.” a mother told his son. By the way, we know that rainbow is actually round in shape, but how many of you observed it before? And, Can u imagine how wonderful and unforgettable it is when u can actually witness Two Rainbow at the same time, moreover, the rainbow is in circular, a fully complete Rainbow?

Yes, all this I witnessed it with my own eye in Rainbow Waterfall, a place that you should never miss it out!!! **Thumb up**

For your information, the package to go Rainbow Waterfall is standard price RM35 per person, includes return transportation, guide fee, one cup of instant mee and a cup of drink. It is advisable to wear sandal instead of shoes as you have to cross over some river road to reach the Rainbow Waterfall. It is believed that more and more people will come over just to WITNESS the natural beauty of the rainbow. Too bad if visitors do not take good care of the site and just throw rubbish simply there, and hence spoil the natural side of the waterfall. Therefore, for those who are interested, u should go there as soon as possible as the waterfall still naturally maintained and before it is polluted!

Think Green & Love GREEN.

Now, we were ready to head to Rainbow Waterfall…

In the early morning 6.30am, a group of 10 of us ride on a 4WD start our journey to the waterfall. It took around 1 hour and 30 minutes to reach the waterfall from Lembing town. On the way, we saw a very beautiful scene and hence the driver stopped for awhile to let us capture some photos…

The road to Rainbow Waterfall ~ broken and muddy road

We always wondering still got how long we can reach. The faster we wished, the more we feel there still got long long way to go…The 4WD finally stopped moving, we reached our destination finally? Oh no… is actually let us go for “Toilet”. This “Toilet”, really “Toilet”!!! Damn “smelly”. No choice as there is the only available “Toilet” before we continued our next long long way journey.

After moving for another short distance (really very near only), the car stops finally on an empty land. Again, we thought we reached. Dreaming!! Here was the “real journey” we should start, the WALKING journey. First of all, we have to cross over a small river and the stepping stones were slippery. So, really have to be very careful for every single stepping. After the river, we have to start our jungle trekking, river stream crossing and rock climbing to meet with Miss Rainbow…

Me and my friends walked in the front as we scared to miss the time when the rainbow appear. Our guide, designated LP (local people) is very funny, he kept on offer his help to take some pictures for us. But our aim is the rainbow, therefore we kept on moving forward. He still asked us don’t talked too loud as this will scare away the rainbow, haha..he is so so funny la..And what is on our mind during that time? Still the same, still got how long we can reached the waterfall ar…LP claimed that normally people will use around 45-60 minutes to reach, however they (local people) are already familiar with the route and it only need 15 minutes for them to reach the waterfall. Wow, can’t believe is it? No doubt, they really can do it as they used to rock jumping. When I saw him jump from one rock to another rock, I really worried for him, really scared him will fall down accidentally …Really touch wood!!!

Jungle trekking, river stream crossing

and rock climbing

When we can finally hear some sound of the waterfall, our excitement dramatically increased!!! Yeah, we finally reached here at around 9.30am. And when looked back the time in the photos, haha, we used around 45 minutes to reach here. However, that time we only managed to see the waterfall but not the rainbow. LP told us that Miss Rainbow is very shy, she won’t be ready to welcome your arrival but will appear herself in a few minutes later. He still told us that here can’t see the rainbow at this moment, have to went up to a higher place (he pointed there) where there definitely can see rainbow. That “higher place” is actually very limited to allocate a large number of people, even we were considered reach here very early, however the “best place” was already occupied. No choice, luckily we still manage to squeeze ourselves at one corner and wait the appearance of Miss Rainbow patiently.

To meet with Rainbow, not only need patience but most importantly again is FATE…

Looked!! Rainbow there…someone shout loudly. Wow, is really rainbow ler… Without waiting, we all took out our own camera and snap the rainbow. However, Miss Rainbow still very shy and we can’t see her clearly. No choice, have to wait again. Waiting, waiting and waiting…the rainbow finally appear to be clearer and clearer. And we all busy to take photo with Miss Rainbow. Normally, the rainbow that we see is always on the sky, is really hard to see it in a close distance. Really feel that in such a moment having my own camera is great actually, I can capture whatever I want, whatever I like…

I like this photo much…feel that it is very harmony


Praise for the rainbow crown, witness the circular rainbow shape…

At first, only plan go there to see rainbow only, not to go into water. However, that time when we saw the rainbow, really can’t resist want to jump into the water immediately. According to the LP, he said that more awesome rainbow only can be observed if we go in the water, somemore need around 10-11++ am where this is the best time to catch up with rainbow… Without thinking too much, we just directly go into water…Super cold the waterfall water, I’m shivering...

Luckily, my friend reminds me to change a full battery, I really forgot about it. Once the camera “getting wet”, the cover cannot be opened as this will spoil the camera. Therefore, replacing a fully charge battery is wise to ensure continuously capturing. OMG, suddenly I realized that my watch also not yet take off, luckily my watch also water-proof…haha

LP is correct, we really can see very beautiful rainbow when we “soaked” ourselves in the water and furthermore in between 10-11++am…Got sun, got rainbow and rainbow is everywhere now. Rainbow is circular, we all know it but how many people can have a chance saw it before? We did. Rainbow, is circular; Rainbow, is really circular..awesome COMPLETED!! This is my very first time to observe rainbow in its COMPLETE shape, in addition the rainbow crown is very clear, very obvious. Really UNBELIEVABLE. Let imagine, the rainbow crown surrounding you, the waterfall water splash on your body and this moment you were “bath” in it. How wonderful that moment is and we really enjoyed it. Two rainbows (or more) appear at the same time.

At this time, I love my waterproof Olympus more than I could describe. My Olympus is very strong, he does not scare of water and always fulfill what I wished for. Because of him, we can capture the only moment with RAINBOW even under the splashing water, and keep a good memory dating up with rainbow…

Photography, is a magician who turn the moment into eternal…




Looked carefully, there got two rainbows there…


We really enjoyed ourselves much in the waterfall…

After that, together with my another 6 friends, we were so risky to climb up to a higher place which is actually very dangerous. That time we really did not think too much, when we saw other people also climbing up, and we just following. When refreshing the memories now, really feel scary and don’t know where the encouragement came from that time.

Different angel, different prospective beauty of the rainbow.

We were really not willing to leave, but time not allowed. After around 45 minutes “bath” in the waterfall together with Miss Rainbow, we have to say goodbye. Hungry hungry….super hungry. Back to the “land”, we were served a cup of instant mee and a cup of drink. Using natural mountain water to cook the mee is really super tasty (perhaps we are too hungry?), haha…

While eating mee, we listened to the story by LP“leader”. He said that this rainbow waterfall just well-known in this 2 or 3 years, and this natural area was maintained well so far by the local people. They will always come here to clean up the area and pick up rubbish to ensure the cleaning-ness of the area. Asking: “this Rainbow Waterfall is located so far and deeply in the forest, how come it can be discovered?” He explained that the local people used to enter into forest to collect wood and suddenly discover this “heaven place”. The news of this “heaven place” was then spread out until it is so famous now. For them, 15 minutes is enough to reach the peak. He still claimed that they even saw a group of elephant bath in the river, only people with enough FATE only can see. Even though we can’t see elephant here, but, saw the feces of elephant also considered FATE too? Hahahaha…

LP “leader” (blue shirt) humorous said that, they don’t have money to buy a nice backpack, so the only alternative way is using “self-made” backpack. All you need is just a sack tightened up with a rope. Another LP very funny too, saw him took a broken school bag and my friend asked: “u took your son school bag ar?”. He replied:”nope…is belong to my mother.”…Haha, they are really funny.

Last but not least, the photo of LP gang…haha

Is time to go back after having our “Lunch” (or Breakfast?). Another 45 minutes again to go down…Sienz..

Goodbye to Rainbow Waterfall, I’m sure will come back for the second time if got chance.
