DaBong Town

DaBong is a sleepy village in Malaysia's interior, hemmed in by beautiful jungle, a muddy river and steep mountains. Not much going on in DaBong town, save for area agriculture and a little trekking tourism.

One of the streets with traditional wooden architecture, misty jungle looming.


Architectural details. Adding a little regal trim to your windows and splashy paint and tile to your entrance.

The huge muddy, the Sungai (river) Galas. The sediment moved during monsoon is awe inspiring.


Muslim sights, one of the mosques and a hilltop cemetery.

Jungle work.

Jaw-Dropping Jelawang Waterfall

Deep in interior Malaysia is Gunung Stong State Park and its highlight is a major mountainside waterfall.

First sighting from the approach road. The visible section is only the middle part, both top and bottom obscured by thick jungle.


At the base area of the waterfall, major trees and some old cabins, recently repainted. Quaint.

The pool area, fed by the waterfall. Time might have passed this attraction by.


Time has definitely passed by other cabins, which are either falling down or have disappeared.

Back to the main attraction, the view from the bottom of the fall. Steep.
