Uncovering Nature's Surprises: Exploring the Endless Waterfalls of the Lupar Basin

I woke up early on a Saturday morning, excited to meet up with my friends and embark on a new adventure. We had planned to hike to a waterfall in the Lupar Basin, and I couldn't wait to explore the jungle and see the natural beauty that awaited us. I hopped in my car and drove all the way to the meetup point, eager to start our journey.

As we began our hike, I immediately noticed how humid the jungle was. The air was thick and heavy, and I could feel the sweat starting to bead on my forehead. Fallen branches and dry leaves littered the ground, making it a bit challenging to navigate the path. But the elevation increased slowly, and my team and I didn't feel too tired.

As we continued on, we could see rivers with small tributaries, and I was struck by the beauty of the landscape. The jungle was alive with the sounds of birds and insects, and I felt a sense of peace and tranquility wash over me.

I held a dry leaf with three eyes, which was an interesting find in the jungle. It's amazing how nature can surprise us with its unique creations. As I and my team continued on the hike, our guide navigated through the dense jungle using his parang to chop down vines and leaves in front of him. It was impressive to see how skilled he was at navigating through the jungle, and I felt grateful to have him as our guide.

We arrived at a beautiful waterfall with crystal clear water and roots overgrown on the rock surface. Big boulders were scattered along the stream, and I couldn't resist the urge to explore upstream. I navigated through the boulders and had fun swimming in the stream. At first, the water was cold, but my body got used to the temperature as I soaked in the water. The waterfall cascaded endlessly, and the water was very clean. I felt like it would be a good place for camping, with lots of water plants around.

As we hiked upstream, I was struck by the beauty of the waterfall and the surrounding landscape. The water was so clear that I could see the rocks and plants beneath the surface. The roots overgrown on the rock surface added to the natural beauty of the waterfall.

The waterfall cascaded endlessly, creating a soothing sound that filled the air. The water was very clean, and we felt like it would be a great place for camping. The surrounding landscape was lush and green, with lots of water plants around. We couldn't help but feel grateful for the opportunity to experience such natural beauty up close.

Whenever we thought the waterfall that we discovered might be the last one, but as we explored further up, a new waterfall appeared. There was a section where the surface was a wide, flat rock surface. I ever seen this in the Bengoh area before, and both formations looked very similar. We enjoyed hiking along the stream, but one thing that we had to be careful with was the slippery surface of the boulders. Some of us slipped and fell a few times, but luckily, there were no major injuries.

As we reached the end of our hike, we couldn't help but feel a sense of peace and contentment. The endless waterfalls, the crystal clear water, and the lush greenery had all combined to create a truly magical experience. We felt grateful to have had the opportunity to explore such natural beauty.

As we packed up our gear and headed back to civilization, we knew that this adventure would stay with us for a long time to come. It was a reminder that there is so much to discover in the world around us and that sometimes, the best way to find it is to go out and explore together.

When I meet one of the chapel members there, and asked about this, he deny this. And told me that this is not true, and it was the priest himself who raise the fund to build this chapel.
