Enjoying the waterfall. You can see the kids at the bottom. |
Puteri Mandi is a waterfall deep in the forest in the middle of Gunung Jerai (Mount Jerai). It is accessible from Titi Hayun Recreation Centre, located in Yan, Kedah. The same stream from above passes through the recreational area. It will take 4 to 5 hours of climbing the mountain to reach the place. Just follow the blue paint markings and the red striped plastic strips along the trail.
Best to bring along some anti-leech stuff, especially during the wet season. But halfway up the climb, there will no more of them. The second half of the trip is quite steep but not dangerous, just tiring. You have to bring plenty of water. The waterfall's water is reddish due to natural vegetation rot from the top, too cloudy for consumption. Bring a hammer too for convenience. Setting up camp is slow due to limited soil. Mostly rocks near the waterfall. And lastly, don't camp near the water's edge, a lot of creatures getting to the water at night. We've seen hundreds of eyes reflecting in the light from our torchlights from above the ridges.
