Selangor - Family picnic at Batang Kali waterfalls...

"It is predicted to be stormy and wet today, but weather forecasts aren't always right…"

(Sara, Fitri and Ella with Alia...)

When we woke up this morning, the sky was cloudless and the sun was shining brightly. We agreed to go for nasi lemak breakfast at Tanglin and later drove towards Genting Highlands to look for streams or waterfalls for a family picnic.

When we reached Awana Genting we took the alternative road to Batang Kali. This is a major and a second main road to Genting Highlands for those who travel from the North. Along the road there are many streams flowing through the Batang Kali Forest Reserve and a number of them have waterfalls and very popular among the local and foreign tourists.

We passed a few crowded picnic locations along the Batang Kali river and decided to settle for a nice location, easily accessible and safe for the kids to swim. Bathing and soaking in the calm Batang Kali stream was very refreshing but the water can be very strong during rainy season.

Batang Kali streams and waterfalls are wonderful places for family outing, camping and day picnic. Unless you are driving a 4x4 or willing to track a little further upstream the place can be a little crowded during the weekends and public holidays…

(Hana warm and comfortable...)
