I never knew that right smack in the middle of the city, there is still well preserved land and water stream for all of us to enjoy. Well, when my brother told me that there is a wonderful spot for some family get-together. I was like huh not in KL, I have not seen any waterfall or 'sungai' in Ulu Kelang eh?
So we made prior arrangements and today at about 10 am, the whole gang headed for the “Joran Terjun”, located at the hilly top of Kemensah and next to zoo view. Oh boy was I surprised to see the man made picnic spots in front of a running stream with little fishes in it. I was like…no way in Ulu Kelang! Wow…it surely feels as though I was getting close to nature again. The caretaker of the Joran collects a standard entrance fee for those opting to sit in the man made huts/gazebo. I guess they need the money to ensure that the area and the stream are well maintained. The area was neither dirty nor crowded when we came at about 10.30 am. Nonetheless, the crowd got larger when lunch time approaches. We saw a family bringing in a barbeque pit for some food fiesta.

All of us testing the waters at 10.30 am...sejuukkkkk...
Food for stamina..hehehe
Hungry as always..:P
Hahaha...my bro busy doing his meditation while in the water. Oooor is he trying to see whether he can still touch his toes...
The man made equipement for the so called divers ..
Hahaha..macam riding on a little mermaid....
As always, spending precious time with my family has always been my priority in life. We had so much fun and left at about one plus as the kids refused to leave the 'sungai'. Hmm, was it the kids or the adults??hahahaha :)
So for you guys who are into nature, do check this place out as they even provide small huts for those who intend to stay over night.
