Ragkam Riverfall
The first destination opened by CoBETK is the Ragkam Waterfall, a picturesque spot nestled along the Tondulu River. Interestingly, while the waterfall itself lies on the Tondulu River, its name, Ragkam, is borrowed from a nearby tributary. Adding to its charm, there is an elementary school, SK Ragkam, located just 100 meters from the waterfall. This school is uniquely privileged to have such a natural wonder in close proximity, offering students a daily glimpse of pristine nature that few other schools can boast.
Ragkam Riverfall stands out not for its towering height but for its extraordinary cleanliness. The Tondulu River, from which the waterfall flows, is not only a major source of raw water for the entire Tambunan District but is also ranked among the cleanest rivers in Malaysia. The river is under stringent protection, and the pool at Ragkam Waterfall is designated as a red zone, indicating its role as a crucial breeding ground for pelian fish. These fish are a testament to the river's purity, as they thrive only in waters of the highest cleanliness standards. This unique attribute makes the Ragkam Riverfall a symbol of natural beauty and ecological importance.
Visitors to the Ragkam Riverfall are encouraged to engage with the environment in an eco-friendly manner. They can purchase fish food to feed the fish while enjoying a soak in the ‘natural jacuzzi’ created by the waterfall’s currents. Additionally, the Kuyungon tagline wall, located nearby, offers a perfect spot for memorable photos. However, due to the river's critical role as a water source for the district, visitors must adhere to several strict regulations: using soap or chemicals in the river is strictly prohibited, cooking or barbecuing by the river is not allowed without prior arrangement with CoBETK for designated areas, and visitors are required to take their trash with them as part of Kuyungon’s eco-friendly policy.
Kuyungon is located in a high rainfall area, serving as a crucial rain catchment zone. This means that visitors must be cautious, especially during rain, when the river's currents can become swift, or the water can change color, indicating a potential risk. The Kuyungon community, through the Kuyungon Traditional Tagal Association, plays an essential role as the custodians of the river. Their dedication ensures that the Tondulu River and Ragkam Riverfall remain unspoiled and capable of providing clean water to the entire Tambunan district. The community's efforts have not only kept the river among the cleanest in Malaysia but have also secured Kuyungon’s reputation as a hidden gem, a model of sustainable living and natural preservation.
