A very refreshing Air Terjun Batu Berangkai We went north to Ipoh hoping to see the stage that was erected for the filming there. At Kampar we passed a sign board of a waterfall! We knew of a Sungei Salu slides further down the road near the junction to Malim Nawar, but not this one? From the junction which is next to the Bomba, we turned in. We drove past some housing flats and into a narrow paved road. While the sign on the main road showed 1.5 kilometer, we can vouch that it exceeded the distance estimated. |
 |
This narrow road meanders through a resettled "Orang Asli" village. Here we stopped to photograph their houses while Joyce’s eyes were boggling at bunches of Durians fruits that are ready for picks. |
|
After leaving the inhabited area, also at the end of the navigable road, there were the falls. The upper part is made up of 3 gentle cascades while the lower portion is the fall. The 2 cascade falls gradually into a large beautiful pool.
|
| This is the falls, a 2 steps cascading drop. Spot our models! |  |
|
The surrounding is a drastic change from the gigantic falls that we saw earlier. The other good point about this place is the quality of water. It is absolutely clean and clear.
|
 |
This greenish blue pool proves it. The silhouette of the underwater rocks can be seen! |
Kellie’s Castle
|
From the fall in Kampar we made our way to Batu Gajah, the Clearwater Sanctuary Golf course. Unfortunately for us, the whole area is out of bound to outsiders. We went for the second best, Kellies Castle. Most people are fascinated with this relic as the name was mentioned in the Peter Stuyvesant commercials.

 |
The building or the ruins has been given a spruced up with steps filled up and the walls reconditioned. |
|
These ruins will be part of the outdoor scenes. At the foothill below this hillock they were putting on finishing touches to a mock up of a rural village. My apology to all. The camera ran out of film to record that I drove the bugsie into their "village".
