如从Bedong使用1号公路前往Gurun,须留意右旁的Shell添油站。添油站不远的交通灯路口就需转左进入Gurun Jaya住宅区,并前往Lorong 1 Taman Gurun Jaya。通往油棕园的路口就在这。

 

手上的资料并不多,我们只有一张从GoogleMap打印来的俯视卫星照片,及朋友提供的可能地点。沿着那模糊照片里那些看似园丘泥路,从中选择最靠近,最可能的路线前往目的地。并且一路上注意有无经过溪流,希望前方的路来到林边时别是个尽头。

 

If driving from Bedong by using road no.1 to Gurun, take note the Shell petrol station on your right while reaching Gurun town. Turn left into Gurun Jaya housing estate at the traffic light junction which is not far away from petrol station, procced to Lorong 1 Taman Gurun Jaya. The main entrance to the oil palm plantation is around here.

 

We have not much info about the route to Kunyit Fall, only have a blur printed map from Google map and a (maybe waterfall) GPS point from a friend. We followed the dirt road in the map which also exist in the reality, try to get close to the point. We obeserved there are any flowing streams, and prayed hardly don't come to a dead end.

终于,在步行上一个斜坡后,发现前方的路在越过一道小溪后,继续向林内延伸。这仿佛是让我们吃了颗定心丸,我们没走上冤枉路!

 

Walked up a gentle slope, we found the plantation dirt road is continued as jungle trail after a stream crossing. We felt blessed that we didn't pick the wrong route.

刚才暴晒的泥径,进入林里后就显得一片阴凉。地势也平坦,不难步行。泥径左侧就是Kunyit河了。Kunyit河也是一道黑水河,Kunyit在马来语里是黄姜的意思,也许象征这溪水的颜色。

 

The terrain is obvious and flat, lying on the left of the Sungai Kunyit. Sungai Kunyit is a black water river & Kunyit is turmeric in Malay Language, i think that's the reason why local call it turmeric river.

经过一片绿油油的石壁。

约30分钟的步行,我们终于抵达Kunyit瀑布。如果可骑电单车前往,将会更轻松及更快抵达。

 

About 30mins walking, we reached the waterfall. If you come with motorbike, it's more convenient and faster.
