Bukit Sisek is located near the Kota Tinggi Waterfall Resort.
Pelepah Kiri waterfall flows from Bukit Sisek and forms part of the Panti Reserve Forest (Hutan Simpan Kekal Panti).
Why is it called Pelepah Kiri?
Because Kota Tinggi waterfall is also known as Pelepah Kanan.
Pelepah Kiri waterfall is a seven tier waterfall.
The trek started just outside the Kota Tinggi Waterfall Resort gate.
Bukit Sisek is 411 m in height and the trek up was a challenging one.
It started easy but halfway up it became steeper and you have to climb with the assistance of ropes that were already hooked up for hikers.
After we reached the top of Bukit Sisek, we went down on the other side, following the flow of the Pelepah Kiri waterfall.
It was a reward after the challenging climb.
We got to experience and bathe in all 7 tiers of the waterfall.
The trek down was also challenging as we have to trek in the water among the slippery rocks and steep cliff walls, sometime with assistance of ropes. It was dangerous but exhilarating.
We stopped at each tier and took a dip under the cool water.
The weather turned for awhile with light rain.
Unfortunately, the rain turned the water murky, but nevertheless the water was cooling to our tired body.
The murky water hid its dangers.
I stubbed my knee on a wooden log, hard.
This is my knee two days after the hike.
It was a sort of a medal of honour for completing the hike.
(If you are squeamish, do not click).
But all in all, this hike is definitely recommended.
Below are the photos from the hike.
