Nuang August 7th-8th
Well, it’s on! Not 100% confirmed but it’s on!
It’s a lot more straineous than Datoh so better be prepared.
We do have a tentative Chiling Trip on July 31st or August 1st depending on the number of people…

Chiling Trip travelog
Well, from ten participants to one and back to five and then back to two and on…
Final count was five people and although we departed much later than our original plan, we still made good time, arriving at the parking area by 8:35am. The hike started about 8:50 and we arrived around 11am at the second falls. Coffee, instant noodles and “long yoke” with bread was our brunch which was followed by a dip into the water. The temperature of the water will remind you why this place is called Chiling Falls! Unfortunately, it started to rain about 1:20pm so the return trek took place mostly in the rain. Lunch or rather high tea was “Bak Kut Teh”.
