This waterfall is visibly seen from Padang Rengas Town or PLUS Highway towards Taiping, we decided to recce the waterfall after finding the suitable vehicle in conquering the series of hills at the nothernmost part in Bubu Range surrounding the waterfall. Bukit Cha Falls contributes the flow of Sungai Catot a tributary of Sungai Kangsar, but this is the only waterfall so far we could not get to the base, this due to the fallen tree remnant that covered the edge of the waterfall for the palm oil replanting process. To trek under the dense thickets is not advisable, you don't know what's crawling on top of you. But Bukit Cha Falls still beautiful from far away, the closest we can get is around 100 meter from the waterfall and maybe there is an effort by the plantation owner to clear all the deadwood and thickets so the waterfall itself will be well alive. Funny thing the workers at the plantation told us that we like a forestry officer and they not allowed us to take any photograph at the plantation site office, why?
Journey to the known and unknown waterfall in Malaysia, revisit the god creation like a forefather before us in our own style and conclusion.

ULU CHEH WATERFALLS
Known by the locals as "Lata Tok Senik", the waterfall flows from Northern Bubu Range near Bukit Gantang. Located part in the Durian farms and Bubu Permanent Forest Reserve, the location to the trail head could be reached by common four wheel vehicles but the most adventure part is to climb the cemented path of the Durian farms and to climb down the cliff to reach the waterfalls. We managed to explore just 5 of it and it took us nearly 4 hours, unfortunately we could not further explore the upper part and next time we will use a motorcycles to save our time. During this trip I could say that the wow factor is endless, the cascades and waterfall could be found in every 300 meters from each other, roaring sound far at the bottom of the cliff and the excitement cum adventure of finding the way down across the overgrowth and dead leaf. Must go for waterfall enthusiast because the area contains deep pool, near vertical falls, cascades and many more.

SUNGAI ROTAN WATERFALLS
Few kilometers from Beruas town there is a multiracial community located in Sg. Rotan, 3 major races lived within this village, in this village also lies a small river which similar to the name of the village. We got a hint from our hunter friend that once they had crossing Southern Bubu Range's forest from Ulu Licin to this area and there is a trace of huge boulders when they are in this area. We try to recce this area but we started quite late around 4 pm and when we got out it almost 7.30 pm and we found magnificent and untouched cascades of waterfall, there is 4 level and we manage to recce 1st, 3rd and 4th level, the 2nd level located in deep gorge and we not dare to try plus we suspected that there is more waterfall upstream but when we reached 4th level the we saw 90 degrees steep climb and that's limit our journey. The place got their name because once you entered the forest there is a lot of rattan species and huge trees too.

ULU PIOL FALLS
Located in South East part of Bubu range lies a small cascades at the edge of rainforest near Kampung Ulu Piol, few kilometers from Manong. The place seems to be developed previously as "Hutan Lipur" because there is a tarred road lead to the edge of the waterfall, but the condition of the road is not usable by common four wheel vehicles after half of the journey, this is due to frequent usage of the road by the heavy truck for timber. The cascades is just 1.5 meter height and there is small pool to supplement bathing activies, but the area has been covered by the bush but there is a trace of locals visiting this place, the area near the waterfall has been developed into palm oil plantation but the volume of water is still sufficient even in the dry season.
