Having to go to Endau-Rompin National Park was somewhat inspiring. I once thought that it’d be great if I could set foot here once someday. The National Park has always been portrayed heaven on earth. The place is barely touched and waterfalls are everywhere. It’s my heaven. For the cascades I mean. For the first time in my life, I saw a waterfall so majestically sky high here in my home country. I have always admired such falls. Unfortunately, the photo I took there couldn’t explicitly illustrate how much I appreciate the vista first of all because I accidentally had one of my fingers very near to the lens that it got photographed too. I was amazed that I could walk for about 8 hours just to savour an hour of panorama viewing and lunch up the falls. I wished I didn’t have to force myself to walk that long. I may not have to do it again.
This is the entry to Endau-Rompin National Park. If we had to walk into the park from here, we’d get there in approximately 24 hours.
National Park welcomes everybody. Register yourself first, or risk being jailed. You could find some souvenirs too, including T-shirts, caps, car stickers, and Orang Asli traditional games.
Kg. Peta, Orang Asli settlement. This jetty takes you down to Sungai Endau.
My first boat ride on such a boat in a river.

Kuala Jasin.
Coming from the right side is Kuala Jasin, meets with Sungai Endau.
I took this photo after I have crossed the bridge on our way to Kuala Marong.
Pitching tent was easy, but we still had some disagreement with…
Kuala Marong, besides a campsite, is also a reservation spot for kelah fish. You can’t tell which are kelah in this photo, can you?
Tasik Air Biru. I still wonder what is so blue about the lake.
This photo is taken on the way to Buaya Sangkut, the ultimate waterfall so far in my life. I was up on a bridge, shaking to the left and right.
Batu Hampar. I forget to take the photo where the batu is actually terhampar because I was standing on it.
A small cascade found on our way to Buaya Sangkut.
The mysteriously serene lake of Buaya Sangkut. I wonder what are there beyond the trees and the deep water.
The lake pours out this cascade. The guy in red is our guide, Ajoi.
The previous cascade brings us to a huger cascade starting from here.
Walla, my biggest crush here, the ultimate falls of Buaya Sangkut. If only you were there.

Sungai Ubat is believed to have medicinal value. There are numerous medicinal herbs upstream. The leaves soaked in the running water must have been the reason the water has therapeutic effects.
Upeh Guling has a long history dated back more than 100 million years ago. There are many well-like structures formed from the activities of small stones whirling in running water.

Aaa... you wanna go too? Make sure you could walk non-stop for at least 2 hours. Imagine all the rocks you're going to step onto, all the streams you have to traverse, all the hills you will climb, all in one day. Train well and you are ready.
