A waterfall near Gunung Babu

[kuching]

Frankly speaking, I have no idea how many waterfalls in Padawan area of southern Sarawak....probably more than a hundred? Most of the city folks do not know anything about those secret waterfalls.(And, they do not know Borneo is a paradise on earth because most people do not go outdoor, only stay in the urban & suburb areas)) The villagers usually do not like people to go bathing or playing near the waterfall as their water source is from there.

This is a two tier waterfall. One tier is about 3-storey building high! I only photographed the upper part of the waterfall, there is another one below where I photographed.....but I was running out of time, (my main mission was climbing the limestone hill) so I guess I need to come back to photograph the lower part of the waterfall in near future!
