Sg Gabai Waterfall

Last Sunday, we decided to take a trip to the Sg Tekala waterfall but while driving there, the weather starts to look uncompromising…

Indeed, soon after, it pours cats and dogs.

look at the skies... its closing in on us

We reached Sg Tekala and decided to move on to Sg Gabai as the Sg Tekala is full of people picnic with their family. The drive to Sg Gabai is a scenic drive as we pass the Semenyih dam. It’s huge.

Sg Tekala is located along the road towards 18th mile in Cheras from Semenyih town. Sg Tekala is always abuzz with people picnic and spending time to chill of the warm Malaysian weather.

Sg Gabai is no any different. It is another 20 minutes drive from Sg Tekala and located in one of the Selangor national park area. Unlike the Sg Tekala, Sg Gabai is located 2km away from the main road. So, look out for the sign towards Sg Gabai.

Upon reaching Sg Gabai, the rain stopped. However to our surprises, the place is pack with the people. It seems that everyone continue to play at the waterfall though it was pouring earlier.

Immediately, we hike up the waterfall, high and looks like never ending steps.


More to go…


By the time we reach to where we want to play, we are darn tired! And we are greeted with this sight!

I am surprised with the number of people there. Actually, I should have expected that since this is a popular picnic area among the locals!

Without wasting time, we change and start to jump into the water!

WooOOOoooOOooOooOO….

It’s so cold that….emm… and we shivers!

my cousin, Li Wern, myself and my brother, Khai EE

However, soon we are so into the water that the cold water can’t deter us from enjoying it anymore. It has been more than 3 years since the last time I enjoy swimming in the natural.




I know, we just came back from phuket but the water there is different. As much as I love Phuket for the sea, there is something about water fall that I love.


The water flowing from the waterfall is always so refreshing as it is fresh from the mountain but the sea water is kind of sticky because of salt content! Furthermore, it is cold!

As we sat there playing with water, a bunch of teenagers decided to play at the natural slide…



Its oblivious to them the danger it posed towards them. Every time they take a drop, my heart sank with them. But they are full of stunt that we sometimes forget about the danger and enjoy the ‘show’. enjoy it as the do the 'skating' pose and more...



After more photo taking, we decided we should head home as its getting dark and mosquitoes start to ask for free blood donations. I don’t plan to give any free donation that day, we took more pictures and went back for dinner!
