THE BEST WATERFALLS IN MALAYSIA

                                                           HEY GUYS......

IN TODAY'S SECTION,I WILL BE SHOWING THE TOP 4 BEST WATERFALLS IN MALAYSIA

1.KANCHING WATERFALLS,RAWANG,SELANGOR

With seven different falls, Kanching Falls is a variety showcase. The best part is that it is only 30KM north of Kuala Lumpur. A fuss-free, half-day escape from the city would suffice. Head towards Rawang via Rawang Highway and exit when you see the Kanching Falls signage. 

The first four levels are easily accessible – just follow the cement footpaths and steps toward each level. Within these levels, many visitors will opt to spread their mats and picnic as their children swim. Some even set up tents to camp the night. This waterfall has also hosted wedding solemnisations. 

You can stop here or go in further after the cement path to view the fifth, sixth and seventh levels, which will take you about an hour to reach from the bottom. The trail can be steep in some areas and you might have to scramble on all fours to the top, but the waters up there are clearer and the atmosphere more peaceful away from the crowds. There will also be arrows to guide you so you won’t get lost. 

2.SUNGAI PISANG WATERFALLS,BATU CAVES,SELANGOR

Head towards The Alangs/Jungle Lodge retreat that’s near Batu Caves and along Karak Highway to park your car. There might be a few locals loitering around the area that will collect a small parking fee that ranges between RM1-RM3 – do not be conned into paying more than that.

Slip into durable rubber shoes, dry-fit apparel, and be prepared to get soaking wet as you’ll be walking through a shallow river. It is advised to trek towards the waterfall before 9AM as it is cooler then. 

You’ll have to go through twin tunnels underneath the Karak Highway before reaching a fork in the road where your hiking journey begins. Route 1 takes you to the base of the waterfall and Route 2 takes you over the river to the top of the falls where the campsite is. Both routes take around an hour to trek. 

3.LATA KINJANG WATERFALL,CHENDERIANG,PERAK

One of the tallest waterfalls in South East Asia, Lata Kinjang Waterfall can be seen when travelling from the North-South Highway. To get here, take exit 59 at Tapah to Chenderiang. It takes 40 minutes from the toll to reach the waterfall. There is no need to hike because where the road ends, there is a river that leads you directly to the waterfall. 

There is a minimal fee of RM3/person to enter. As the waterfall is hidden by thick foliage, you’ll have to get in to see it up close. Park your vehicle in the area allocated and gear up for a splashing time.

There are two parts to this waterfall. The first is a mild cascade with water gushing over large boulders. Many would be tempted to slide down the rocks but that is not advisable. The shallow dipping pool here is suitable for children under the close watch of adults. 

Walk further in and go up a few more steps and you will need to narrow your lids before you can make up the edge of the fall as the ledge is really high up. For a better view, head up the cement path to the suspension bridge. 

4.LATA ISKANDAR,TAPAH,PERAK

Holidaymakers en route to Cameron Highlands via Tapah should make a point to stop at Lata Iskandar. This breakpoint before continuing the winding journey up presents an enchanting series of cascades over granite slopes. However, if you are travelling to Cameron Highlands from Simpang Pulai, consider driving down after Tanah Rata to reach this waterfall. 

Before you even get to the falls, allow yourself to be distracted by the shopping opportunities that line on the main road. The orang asli sell handicrafts, honey and tropical fruits here. If you are a durian fan, come during the season for your fill of the king of fruits.

After taking in the cool spray from the waterfall at its base, climb up to the top to view the surroundings and frolic in the little pool before the drop, away from the buzz of people at the main fall. Be careful though, the path can be mossy and slippery.
