Pisang waterfall
Published by Coconutkun under on 2/02/2010 11:28:00 AMNice? this is coming next...the Banana falls (Pisang waterfalls) aka Longkang Besar (Big Drain) is one of my many memorable trips i have had..Combining good company, a relatively simple hiking trail, nice exquisite forests and a giant longkang (drain), this place is a must visit for all.. Our hiking team seemed satisfied that day and so was our photography crew; for me, i couldn't be any happier..
This time around, two of our pro photographers; Wonderboy and Yellowbanana came along, which made this whole trip a photo shooting frenzy overkill hyper flash ultra modeling kinda outing.. We were practically modelling the whole journey through..felt as though we were stars, celeb or some supermodel or something..Now, youve gotta be really impressed with their shots, their skills are great..But there is also the external factor (the awesomeness factor) that this place is just full of scenic shots just begging for a picture perfect to be taken..couple it with a lil creativity and some remote flashes..wualahh~..As a beginner in photography, i knew that very day, i had to get a external flash A.S.A.P
So, for those that do not know Pisang falls that well, it is that fall which is "located near the highway lahh, dat wan with the big big drain wan"..for me, i'd conveniently call it the twin falls cos its my first time seeing one (as at now, i dont whtr its a twin fall anymore), located somewhere along the Karak Highway, in the region of Gombak. , its like, who would have known that such a nice lil waterfall exist near a major highway which connects East and West of Malaysia..
Well, after writing few articles now (damn, this is my 105th), ive noticed something..i dont tell my viewers the location places..Talking about location, coincidentally my cousins and i were chilling out at desa park just the other day and one of them asked for directions to Quadro..one of my elder guy cousins then replied, staring blankly at the ceiling, "you turn left and right..there is this road, take that!"..Everyone broke into laughter..typical guy or how a guy's brain work.. So, i wont go to the specifics but here's wat i can tell you - follow the sign that leads to Muzium Orang Asli when youre somewhere in the Kepong region.. and if you got that right, you're about 95% there already.. the rest, do your homework..
Back to Pisang, i would say that this place has a rather wide range of biodiversity (not as much as Gunung Datuk which still tops my lists)..I can give you a few examples: Gabunta(anyone watches Naruto?), the huge frog(<--see pic) guards the two tunnels of this place..then, there are numerous occasions of us seeing paw like prints, i hope they are not tigers'..There are alot of fishes at the waterfall and we even saw the Raja Brooke (the famed gigantic Malaysian butterfly..).. Then, there was this rape case that was going on here; and we bumped into the police during our hike who were hunting down the culprit (oh ya, this has nothing to do with biodiversity..lari topic)
