Robinson Waterfalls in Tanah Rata
In
the Tanah Rata vicinity there are many jungle walks. Don't allow
stories of Jim Thomson, the Silk King, to intimidate you! These
walks are on well paved roads about a meters broad meandering
through tropical forest edges and cultivated areas. You cannot
stray nor confronted by ambiguous junctions and dead ends where
dilemmas takes over.
On one end
of Trail No 7 is the area of
the living quarters for the employees of the Electricity Board.
Here the trail
starts with a narrow steel bridge and immediately
followed by a path set with interlocking bricks. Look far at the horizons
where the river flows from the living quarters downstream,
you will see a silver Tin Shed that marks the water catchments point.

The river
was dammed up for the generator. Immediately after the dam is
natural cascade. This cascade is not shown here. It is sheer drop
of 20 feet over jutted rocks surfaces. From there on, a series of
cataracts begins. If you see carefully on the right upper corner
of the picture on top, part of the manicured lawn can still be
visible!

This
is the view of the 3rd cataract pouring over a wide
slope. Another branch make its way on the right -hidden
|
And
then the 4th narrow gorge as a low waterfall
|
|
|
Finally
the last and the tallest drop. Not visible from the top
as it is near vertical fall of 25 meters.
|
The area
around the waterfall is scenic as the beautiful walkways hugging
the slope of the ravine. Dramatic with the roar of the waterfall.
Beside seeing its presence, there were no suitable spot for
picnic or provision for trekking beside the waterways!
