Sungai Lembing - Rainbow Waterfall

Sungai Lembing is a small town located around an hour drive from Kuantan. It is a famous tourist spot especially during these few years where one gets to enjoy the mother nature while relaxing their mind away from hustle and bustle of the city. Sungai Lembing is a small town surrounded by mountains and rivers, it used to be famous with tin mine too!

During our time at Sungai Lembing, we booked a Rainbow Waterfall package online.

The gathering point is at the hawker centre located beside the main street. At 6.30 o’clock in the morning, the hawker centre is full with tourists going for either Rainbow Waterfall or Lembing Hill.

Met our guide, hopped onto the modified 4-wheel drive and started our journey to Rainbow Waterfall! The 4-wheel drive journey estimated to be around 1hour but we spent slightly more than it @.@ the driver is abit too “cautious” in driving thus the journey is less excited but safe enough lol. However, there is still some excitement throughout the whole journey :P Especially when there is a sharp turn in the jungle, tree branches swinging over your head and the most exciting is when the 4-wheel cross river lol.

Misty morning.

On the way to Rainbow Waterfall, view from the 4-wheel drive.

After around 1hour+ “butt hopping” journey, we reached the starting point! Is time to get wet! We need to cross this river where the water is around knee level.

After the river crossing, half of our body is wet @.@

Recommendation: Wear rubber shoes (Kampung Adidas) since it is good in gripping and water resistance.

Follow the direction or your guide.

After around 45minutes, the waterfall is in front of our eyes!

According to our guide, the best view for the rainbow is from the right side (facing the waterfall). So we hike up to the right side and had our breakfast while waiting for the rainbow!

Breakfast included in the package! One Maggie cup noodles and milo for each person.

The rainbow is here finally!

Creation of the sun and water! Awesome!

After some rest, it is time to get wet! We moved to the water curtain side and found round rainbow formed on the water surface!

p/s: the water is freaking cold!

After some water splashing, we moved our way back to Sungai Lembing town. It was closed to 12pm and we said goodbye to Sungai Lembing under super hot sun!
