I know this place Ayer hitam owned by UPM but don't dare to go lah. Heard can get saman by ranger if got caught
the legendary hidden blue lagoon. it's 1 of the must find gem for hikers.
yes, the whole land is own by UPM, for research & study purposes. but they open part of it for people to hike.
wawasan hike is relatively easy, suitable for even beginners.
these r multiple waterfall location.
the outer less hidden 1, got 2 levels, entry on the same path.
this 1 although got signboard outside warning visitor not to enter, people enter anyway & the UPM ranger wont com kacau cuz further from UPM, & most importantly, ranger cant reach wit quad bike.
the blue lagoon in the other hand, hav to venture deeper, & closer to UPM.
there r few path, wit only 1 reaching the lagoon. no signs.
so u either hav to ask around, go wit som1 that has been there b4, or try ur luck. (*hint: keep left all the way)
when u reach the entry, there's a big sign warning visitor not to enter, can be charged in court, denda xxx, bla bla bla.......
go early & com out early so dont get caught.
that place is nice to linger, but highly recommend to com out b4 9am.
usually at weekends, ranger will com from UPM side using their quad bike & halau trespassers.
mostly only will take down ur name, ic number, & off u go. (*pro tip if caught: dun bring ic, giv fake name & fake ic number).
every once a blue moon, they will take trespassers into police custody, giving fine, & even charge in court.
but the last time trespasser charged in court was loooooong time ago.
just wayang to appear in news to keep the public off their reserve area.
