Hikers usually will stay 1 day at Poring hot Spring to relax their tired muscle after challenge the Mount Kota Kinabalu. Beside the hot spring and other attractions in the park, there's 2 falls around the area for those still feel not enough trekking : Kipungit fall and Langanan fall (+/- 120m height, highest fall in Poring).

Kipungit fall is nice place for family picnic and accessible to all age group. The stream water is clear and cold.

To visit Langanan fall, i need about 4 hours to go and back (distance 3.4km). Cause lack of time, i forced to turn back although it just another 500m to reach the fall Langanan Fall, i'll be back....

Basically this is a baby size fall. Known among the locals, hot picnic spot during weekends. Saw malay boys jump happily inside the pool near the main fall. According to the locals, there's no other fall at upstream, just rapids. Worth to give the little fall a visit during hot day, if you're around the area.

Back to hometown for the 3 days holiday. My mom told me that it had rained continuosly for the last few days, but surprisingly the 3 days are very bright sunny weather. Make me feel wanna dance!!!

Here's the small fall around Ayer Itam Dam, Penang : Mt. Elvira Fall. Found it in the MFM map. Actually it's very easy access fall, the killing part is the long uphill walking. If you have motorbike, you can ride all the way there. The fall is located at the road side, hiding under the shade. No obvious trail, need to tak some effort to go near the fall.

Sad that the place had been polluted lightly by human rubbish.

Good weather in monsoon season.
