Itinerary description
With Kuala Lumpur Hiking & Trail Running group
No forest trail. It's all paved, either with cement, damaged tarred road or dirt and gravel combo.
The ascent is quite fun though🤣🤣🤣
"Waterfalls remain spectacular, and Tanglir Waterfall is certainly no exception.
Due to car park issues near the trailhead, we started the hike from Bukit Tinggi, crossing the village and Sungai Tanglir on the north side of the Karak Expressway.
Upon reaching the pine trees of Villa Indah, the trail goes uphill. It is rather gently uphill, with a few fierce inclines along the way. We almost constantly hear the rapids and cascades of Sungai Tanglir, streaming down from Genting Highlands while you can enjoy the views of the forests at the Janda Baik side.
We head first for the Chinese and Indian temples, north of the waterfall, passing a refreshing 'shower'. We crossed a few minor streams before reaching the temple area.
After that we trekked back, first to the Upper Fall and after that to the impressive Lower Fall.
We started with a tarred road section through Kampung Bukit Tinggi and upon reaching the trailhead, it is partially damaged tarred as well as gravel road. Only the short trails to reach the waterfalls itself will be in the jungle." Alex KLH
