Just outside Ulu Yam Baharu, a 4 km dirt road runs into the forest reserve. This road ends at a ramshackle bridge where you can park the car. From there it is a short walk to the falls
The Sendat falls consists of two tiers. The falls are located in a very shaded forest, very suitable to have a picknick on a hot day. There are some more small cataracts.

aku dah pegi semalam memang besh. Jalan masuk ke sana memang agak mencabar. tapi memang berbaloi. Pool 3dan2 tu memang dalam kalu tak pandai berenang jgn mandi kat situ aku lompat dari atas batu siap buat summersault lagi ... Tapi ada jugak sampah2 yang tak dikemaskan. Selamat bercuti buat pencinta alam sekitar. Jaga kebersihan

Just went to this water fall. It is indeed now developped, with a parking area (5RM per kereta but you can park outside for free), entrance fee per pak as per comment from Deskok below, there are toilets and shower facilities, they also provide some rubbish/litter bins, but in view of the crowd during the weekends it still not enough. Although i must admit the bins were definately not full whereas the ground was! (full of rubbish, i sadly mean).
This waterfall is great fun for a big splash (although watch out the loop current, as someone mentioned, best for good swimmers) more for having a peacefull experience in the jungle (if it remains part of the jungle, as Nictancb mentioned, deforestation for palm plantations is circling around the spot... ). Hopefully some altruiste nature lover own the ground around the water falls (is it so?).

This is very important !!!! Do not swim in the Sendat fall at the second level pool which has strong current !!!
The pool has a big and long black color hose. Be careful !!!
I went to Sendat waterfall today at about 3pm, after I have arrived at the car park, 2 young guys and 1 lady ran to me in very panic asking me "Do you know how to swim, we got a friend guy stuck in the water, can you get him out !!!??" I was completely in shock, i took out my life jacket out from my car and passed to them and asked them to quickly ran up to waterfall and passed to some adults up there first.
I quickly ran to the "Second Level" waterfall, quite some people surrounding the pool, after asking around i realised that a Chinese young guy was trapped inside the water by very strong current. It was already more than 20 minutes !!!! No one dared to dive into the water to find the young guy. There were were waiting for the Bomba to come !!!
About 30 minutes later, the Bomba arrived, they brought some life jackets and ropes, after some site survey and discussions, few guys with the help of Bomba dived into the water to find the young guy. It was very risky for them, I saw one of them nearly got dragged into the water by the strong current. They all gave up as the current was too strong for them to control the swimming.
After a while, they decided to cut the long bamboo and used the bamboo to pull out him from the water. From the lenght for bamboo going into the water, it shows the water is very deap. After some trial, they managed to retrieve the young guy who already lifeless for over 1 hour.
It was very horrible experience for me to witness this.
How could the second level waterfall has no sign board of warning for not swimming there ???? The last time I went there, i witnessed a guy who got pulled by the strong current at the second level pool, luckily he got saved by 2 other guys.
This weekend I may go there to talk to the Penjaga (Guards) to put a warning (BAHAYA) sign board there, if possible the second level pool should be closed with fence to avoid the same tragedy from happening !!!
I got to know the young group which lost his friend were first time to Sendat waterfall, they did not know that the second level pool has strong current !!!
I went to Sendat waterfall for many times, the water there is cool and clean. But the first, second and thir pool has deep water, be careful for new visitors !!! The third level has the deepest pool.

There is only a Jabatan Perhutanan booth at the entrance. I dont think they have a line for booking. As for items 2 and 3 you asked, I think is not an issue. Just make sure you take away all the thrash when you leave. You can always eat at the stalls at ulu yam. Plenty of nice food. I never bring any food when I visit Sendat.

i need quick info regarding the place:
1.do i have to make reservation for the campsite?
2.do they have toilet near the campsite?
3.can we cook;bbq etc?

Been here just yesterday. There are 2 food stalls now just before the bridge at the entrance. The changes over the last 3 years is too drastic, something got to be done to protect this waterfall and perhaps all other waterfalls. It is getting real over-crowded. Before the falls land is being cleared for plantation.

I rate this one better than Chiling cause the pool is large enough for a swim. Water is also one of the coldest around. Beats Chiling Falls. Nice big pool at the bottom. Unfortunately it is only a nice place to visit during weekdays. Weekends are way too crowded.

Salam.. I went to Sendat yesterday.. and it was awesome.. The road was still ok, even a kancil can go in.. Not many people yesterday.. So it was a lot of fun.. The pool is (the way I look at it) in good condition.. The changing room and the toilet was ok (quite clean actually).. Oh, I took some pictures of the surrounding area and its on my blog: http://blog.azri.my
I might be going back there Saturday after next week >.<

hi, could u please elaborate more on the batu cave-ulu yam way? thanks!
|
| BJ | 15-10-2008 |
Alida,
I always use the Batu Caves --> Ulu Yam way. No toll, pretty easy drive plus you get to see the scenic Ulu Yam Dam lake
|
| BJ | 15-10-2008 |
I went there last weekend. Things have changed for the good there since last I went there. Now there is a tarred road almost all the way to the fall. Just left probably few hundred metres but looks like work is being done. Now it will be taken over by the government and they will be charging RM2 for adults and RM1 for kids. They have also built a huge toilet/changing room area. They are making the place visitor friendly. The falls is still unspoiled.

Dear Wan4, its just 200m smooth walk to the falls. Enjoy
|
| wan4 | 28-08-2007 |
By the way, how far is the walk from broken bridge to the fall? Is it jungle trekking or smooth walk?
|
| wan4 | 28-08-2007 |
Thanks Alan. Maybe this weeknd I'll give it another try..
|
| Alan | 26-08-2007 |
Just continue on the tar road. Than a stretch of dirt and stone road. There is a left turn but keep to the right path. Go till the end where u will come to a broken bridge. Dah sampai. Good Luck
|
| wan4 | 26-08-2007 |
Last week we tried to go but at the end of tar road we turned back. Salah ke jalan tu atau terus berapa jauh lagi? Pls help.
|
| redzuan | 24-08-2007 |
Is there a better description of how to get there? Maybe from a main road or from a nearby, well-known landmark? I'm somewhat unfimiliar with the place even though it is not too far from where I live.
|
| Alan | 23-08-2007 |
Dear Atikah. Sendat falls is free for all. No rangers cos Sendat is no protected like Chiling. U do whatever u like at your own risk. Camping and fishing allowed. Email - campmanalan@yahoo.com

Went picnic with family on 22/07/07. Second time at Sendat. Still a nice waterfall. Well kept and quite clean. It rained in the afternoon and the falls became a torrent.

This is my third time to Sendat Waterfalls and really dissapointed with what we found..i.e. Shampoo bottle, food styrofoam, plastic bag, alot of tit bits plastic and etc...It is sad to see when parents and some local kids don't know how to appreciate nature...:(
I really hope that Malaysia government put a little bit of efford in controlling this to happen to our nature..
