TOP 4 MUST VISIT WATERFALLS IN MALAYSIA

Planning for a trip in Malaysia at times could be a little difficult as there are many places to visit, especially when it comes to waterfalls. Here’s my list of the best waterfalls that would make you feel like being in heaven

            Firstly,Rainbow Waterfall at Pahang. The Tapis Waterfall, or popularly known as Rainbow Waterfall, is probably the most beautiful waterfall in Malaysia ( if weather conditions are perfect ) and can be reached by lorry via a 10 kilometres laterite track followed by a 10 kilometres logging trail from Sungai Lembing town. Here the waterfall drop vertically and as it splashes down, the water is broken up and reaches the bottom as mist and in the process forms a rainbow usually between sunrise and 11am when the sun is at a certain angle.

            Then I will tell you about  Chamang Waterfall also located at Pahang. Chamang Falls is one of the nicest waterfalls around that requires zero effort to get to. None of those trekking stuff  just park your car, walk a few steps and voila! your eyes will be well rewarded with a beautiful, powerful, cascading waterfall.It is located near Bentong town in Pahang, accessible from Karak Highway. Take the exit into Bentong/Raub and you’ll come upon brown signs directing you to town and subsequently Chamang Fall.

            Okay, now we go to the next waterfalls. Mahua Waterfall. Dont worry not Pahang again. But it located at Sabah. Mahua waterfall is a pristine natural fall that nestled deep in the tropical forest of the Crocker Mountain Range. This spectacular waterfall is approximately 17 metres tall and has a pool depth of 1.3 metres.One of the most accessible beautiful fall in Sabah, the drive up to Mahua takes an approximate 1 and a 1/2 hour drive from Kota Kinabalu. Visitors will pass through scenic uphill drive through small villages and forests on the Crocker Range.The drive will end at the Mahua Sub-Centre which is the park entrance. From there on, it takes an easy 15 minutes walk along the river to reach the waterfall.

            And the last one goes to Temurun Waterfall at Langkawi. Located in Datai Bay area, Temurun is a three tier Waterfall and the cumulative drop of the falls is about 200 meters. This is the tallest waterfall in Langkawi. The water stream flows down the northern slope of  Mount Mat Cincang. The rocks here comprises mainly of sandstone & shale, and is over 500 million years old.

That all for today. See you in next entry. Hopefully J
