The day has come for humans to walk the tallest waterfall(Jelawang) in South East Asia again…. :P

My reason to go there: Bring my friends there

Rewards of this trip 
- All of us in O2P could camp togather, that's the most important thing
- Easy and short trail, so all of us could go
- Nice campsite
- Nice waterfalls
- Nice sunrise view
Challenges of this trip 
- This place has been declared "Gunung Stong State Park", that means entries are controlled. You will be forced to take a guide, it will cost RM90/day if I'm not wrong. Well I argued that we have been there several times, and is a very short trail like and evening hike up to Bukit Mertajam, so we escaped the extortion this time.
