Sungai Lopo waterfall (or also known as Sg Lepoh) is one of Selangor's many gems. Its water is tinkling cool and crystal clear. Although still not a familiar name, its pristine beauty has attracted anincreasing number of visitors. As much as I would like to keep it that way so that it is not over populated, I cannot contain myself to show you how beautiful is this part of the world, right here in my kampung, Selangor.

| Sungai Lopo waterfall is a beauty worth hiking for |
To reach the Sungai Lopo waterfall, we had to hike for a while. The waterfall is situated approximately 500m above sea level. Higher than Broga Hill but not as steep. My mother and I did not know of the journey to reach the waterfall so we just tread on...and on...and on...for 1.5 hours! Do not be alarmed! For experienced hikers with trained stamina or if you come expecting a hike, you can do it in only 45 minutes. My dear mother, 62, is the greatest inspiration to the uninitiated . If an exercise- deprived senior can do it, there is no excuse that the others cannot! Great job Mummy!

 |
| Keep going, don't look back |
The hike is definitely not without incentives. Other than the waterfall faithfully awaiting up there, the lush greenery and lungs of fresh air kept us going. The chirping of birds and insects, were just invigorating, disposing the sounds of traffic that pollute the city dwellers' ears. Sweat is a symbol of nature doing its work to ward off sickness and aches only reminded us of what toned muscles we will gain after the whole adventure. Up, up, up we went practicing determination with every step we took.

We kept our ears peeled for the gurgling of brooks as dried leaves crackled under our shoes. Cool breeze is the harbinger of our targeted destination. "Sikit lagi, sikit lagi," motivated our paramedic, Abang Bard.
