You can get to the Benum Range either from the Karak Highway at the Sungei Dua turnoff, or take the winding road after Bentong town.

If you are following the later route and you meet up with the Kampong Lebu signboard then proceeded by a spot with lots of Cow shit on the road! You are on the right track!

We came from the highway and if you have followed this way, you will soon meet up with this sign.

Kampong Sungei Klau is an authentic cowboy town. Recently a signboard was erected to confirm the name of this country hamlet. Next we followed a well-maintained tar road, also with a newly erected road sign, Jalan Sungei Chalit.

For the whole journey of 2 kilometers on this road, we saw nothing but well managed cocoa plantations. I had my photograph taken to show you that "I was here!"

From the main junction, this plantation road goes round the cultivated area within the valley. About 3 kilometer into the road, watch out for turning on your right into a laterite track. This track is broad with hard surfaces and gradually ascending. The cultivation is changed to Durian for next kilometers. Further on the vegetation is back to its original form, rubber estates.

Rubber estates road are kept in superb condition due to its daily usage, but for new comers, the going will get very tricky, as there is a turning for every hillock to serve the estates. It is not fair for us to give you a very clear description of the correct junction to take as landmark changes so often! At the time we were there on week 8, it was at a valley planted with bananas. At that point, all along the main track, on your left you will come across chain-linked perimeter fencing. Follow the fencing and also turn right. This is the road to the "Giant Fall" in Chinese "White Leaf Mountain."

That day we took this track but it was no track for a normal saloon car! After a short distance up, we back tracked our "beetle" car and parked it at the junction that has ample space. Then started walking up the broken 4X4 track. The same old backbreaking walk, for a host of reasons, our friend Chow Yew was not keen to clear the track to resume his transport business to the falls.

All the way up the track was already in a very bad state of neglect after 3 months of incessant raining. Few outsiders had used the track and the rest is up to your imagination. That was hard work and nothing that we should moan about. At long last, we passed the main Log Bridge, and up into the shaded track. Khong and myself are no longer keen trackers; we had rested many times and promised ourselves a causal walk.

After all we had no target to meet except to ascertain the condition of the track, at least as much of the track as possible. Our main concern then was the time to return, and also the usual afternoon rain.

With that in mind, we finally conceited defeat and made our way down. We consoled ourselves that we had seen most of the track. We had our quota of tracking! Or rather an overdoes of walking for a single day by our standard.

We reached our car before the rain came, we should go another kilometer to look over the Chalit as well. The road in was still "clean" but so broken that the normal saloon car could not pass through. There was less changes here as the place is well visited by the local.

As a finale for the day, we paused to see this picnicker whipping up the small fishes from the swift flowing river.
