Most of you may not have
heard about the uniqueness in this range of low hills. Perhaps also unaware
of the possibilities to see raw quartz that easily. Here are some
pictures of accidental encounters. |
A group of our friends
trekking in the hills behind Ampang stumbled upon some rocks
embedded with crystals. These had rolled down from higher grounds. |

On your next trip to the
Gombak toll house, in clear weather, watch for this this
"Ridge" .The picture before you bears resemblance of a scene
from the Chinese art painting. There are Feng Sui masters who interpret
this phenomenon as The "Dragons Spine" of Kuala Lumpur.
The tiny shed in the
foreground? It is suppose to be the Gombak Toll House. While waiting to
pay your toll. Look left and up - there is this majestic cliff wall. The
northern tail end of the ridge.

This is the view of the 2
kilometers stretch of ridge that holds a trail at its apex. The continuously
passable stretch of the whole ridge.
Each morning the air over
Kuala Lumpur warms up as sure as the sun rises. On another front, the
moisture laden clouds formed over the Ulu Klang Dam too are lifted. The
rate at which those over Kuala Lumpur are lifted is more rapid. Those
cooler clouds over the body of water is influenced to join those down
the valley by this parallel thermal lift. In their exodus, they pour
over the dam in a current. See this phenomenon of a river of clouds drifting
over the pass each
morning around 7.30 am. You have to be standing on the top the ridge to
get that ring side view. The clouds then is passing below you, some gift
-a spectacular sight.
