Though the rock, on which the chalets straddled pale in  comparison with the one in Australia,  but it nevertheless provide some interesting backdrop to the park. One could find some fine specimens of tropical forest trees,  namely, Eurycoma longifolia and Labisia pothoina. To the uninitiated, Eurycoma longifolia or "Tongkat Ali" literally translated means "Ali’s Crutch" and is widely believed by the Malays to be an aphrodisiac. The greatest appeal is at midway up the hill. However, you have to scale a steep hill, which would be a real strain on the calf muscles, but the effort is most rewarding as a 3 meters high waterfall awaits you. This is perhaps is one of the most beautiful in the District. The crystal clear water, cascades down from the top of the hill. To repose under the waterfall and enjoy the white water shower would be indelibly memorable and definitely a most wonderful way to spend a sultry languorous afternoon.
