Lembing Rainbow waterfall

Now that we've got the Sunrise part covered and the food part as well, its time to intro you the very best of LEMBING..rainbow waterfall~..having just one shot at this (its our last day here), we managed to hire a 4wd the night before the hike the following morning..The truck+driver+ guide combos are easy to find here in Lembing since every hotel/motel offers this service..its just a matter of bargaining the price and by luck, you get whatever condition of the truck they give you..and your guide's level of friendliness..

In case you were wondering, the hiring of the truck costs about RM 280 and could easily fit 10 at any one time..That brings us to about RM 28 per person for like about an hours ride into the forests..the terrain is mostly muddy and stoney (if there is such a word).. plus a few river crossings and a hell lot of obstacles to watch out for (you'll have to dodge branches, leaves and lalang countless times if youre sitting outside - and do sit outside!),in which it actually adds up the fun actually..oh ya..the price also includes the fee for the guide too..an hours tracking is required after a point where the 4 wheeler cant take you no more..there's a thigh-deep stream which youll have to cross which basically marks the beginning of your approx. 45 mins hike to the waterfall (it takes lesser time actually, if you dont stop to pangsai half way ; ) )..That's me btw..in the picture on the left..

So, here we are..at Lembing's hidden treasure..the last few minutes of the hike would prove to be most exciting as you slowly begin to hear the thunderous roar of the waterfall..and as you march forward, partially getting glimpses of the waterfall, you quickly hasten your speed to get a clearer view..with each step bringing you closer to the waterfall, you cant help but to feel a sense tranquility and serenity..its that magical..the moist covered air, the breathtaking scenery instantly rejuvenates the mind, body and soul..and to our delight and much to our luck that day,we were able to witness the rainbow , first hand..and then, we viewed it from different angles, the rainbow then curved differently..and at the height of it, there were even twin rainbows..

Well, Lembing waterfall isnt as Gigantic as the Kanching..which is several articles away from this post, but because it's so huge, water from the top free falls into virtually tiny droplets /sprays of water into a pool..these droplets along with strategic positioning of sunbeam during times of about 9am to 11am causes the rainbow to form. Hence, the rainbow waterfall.Now, as much as i noe that anyone would love to stand right beneath the shower of water, pls mind that there are constant rocks falling from up there..and trust me, you wouldnt want to get hit by any of them, regardless of size, falling from that high..

A dip in the pool is definately a must when you come here..and there is free fish spa (dr.fish) here too..the only thing is, it isnt fish..its shrimp!..fresh water shrimp abt 2 centimetres in length..and they are fun to catch too..which is another thing to do if youre here..the cold most wind that blows at your face whilst sitting by the side of the waterfall really freshens you up. no matter what state youre in...and for two hours of these, i think ill come back for more..The reason why we only had 2 hours is because, crowds start coming in at about 9..and that's what spoils things sometimes..thank god we came early..
