Cascading Waterfall: Lata Iskandar

What is a holiday without going on a trip?

That's exactly what me and Cyren and two of our friends did today as we drove to a waterfall situated along the trail from Tapah to Cameron Highlands in Perak. While the ride itself wasn't that exciting (imagine two hours in a tin car doing nothing), the waterfall, named Lata Iskandar in the local language, is a perfect getaway if one wants to dip themselves in cooling water and does some forest sightseeing. Plus, since the location lies on the mountain range (far far away from the city), you can bet that the air is clean and fresh.

Truthfully, the waterfall is of nothing spectacular, perhaps I have seen too many of them. However, for those who like the cascading cold water, this is a suitable spot for a lovely picnic and moments of relaxation. Do be mindful that since the place is located in the forest, there are creepy-crawlies running around the area such as a giant centipede. Most of the times, they are harmless as long as you avoid them. As for bug enthusiasts, this is a haven for you all. Not only can you find terrestrial bugs but the water flowing down to a river is a breeding spot for dragonflies and damselflies.

It's not really clear but I managed to take a picture of a damselfly resting on a rock.

And of course, I couldn't have a Lego-themed blog without posting a Lego picture of myself.

I did have the intention to relax and read a book there but alas, I took pictures of the Lego me reading instead. That's Cyren btw, trying to climb a rock
