Jungle trail " Pala-U

This bridge (@level #1) was the start of the jungle trail leading to the Pala-U Waterfalls. Over rocks and crossing over streams, we made our way up to level #5, stopping in between to feed hungry fishes (river carps) along the streams. With a light breeze and the sound of falling water, scenic shots were also taken. Aaron-James took the lead together with our guide "Chai" Sarah-Marie, Clarissa-Anne and Mom took the middle and Dad at the rear. Whilst the scenes at Level #2-#4 were fairly similar .... some water falling and fishes looking for food, the scene at Level #5 was much nicer (It could have been better if there were more water !!!). Slightly harder to get there, it provided a soothing scene of peace and quiet (aside the noise of falling water !!!)
A good 30-40 min were spent at Level #4, wading & soaking the tired feet in the icy cool water, letting the carps fight in the swallow water, looking for food. Other tourists also joined in and the more daring ones, swam in the icy pool, amidst all the fishes and letting the water, falls/splashes on them.


After spending some 2 hours walking the trail, climbing rocks and jumping over fallen trees, a GOOD FOOT REFLEX was a welcoming thought. (Probably 2 hrs at one go !!!). Whilst it was not openly said, it was written across the faces. A good experience but I don't think there will be a repeated performance. (Nothing like a good feet rub !!!)
