Kota Tinggi Waterfalls Resort

Kota Tinggi Chalet House

Our host thought it be nice to drop by the Kota Tinggi Falls for a walk; as many of us had not been here for 15 odd years, and for me, it's the first visit. The waterfalls used to be a public place before admission charges were imposed, from RM$2.50 to the RM$7.50 now.

Alighting from the car, we were bombard with a foul whiff from the facing iron ore mines instead of the freshest breath of air in the forested hilly site. This is quite disappointing albeit having some of the prettiest chalet houses in a serene surrounding.


As we made our way downhill towards the waterfalls, the air improved.



According to those who had been here previously, these water slides and wading pools were newly added. Rent a rubber tube (RM$8 for 2 hours) and you could go "Whee...!", down the slide. Looked like fun.


And relaxing...


Finally, the waterfalls! While i couldn't resist bearing my foot to bath in the chilling waters; had to be very careful as the rocky floors were covered with green algae and very slippery. Wasn't much safe area for children to play, i thought. 



But i could now pictured my aunts and uncles visiting the waterfalls, many many years back - climbing up the peak to reach the water source and taking heroic photos with the rapid waters to show us, who were back home.
