The Ulu Paip Recreational Forest is located about 15 kn East of Kulim. From Kulim follow the road to Grik. The Park is clearly signposted. A small river runs through the park with several rapids and a small waterfall. Nothing spectacular, but a nice place for a family picnic. There are a few shelters.

A popular place

There are several nice wading pools in the river and a few cascades. The main waterfall is a bit disappointing because of the waterpipes spoiling the view.

The forest surrounding the river creates a cool, relaxed atmosphere.

This is the first waterfall encountered

Recently some waterfall hunters have explored the upper regions of the river and found more waterfalls. Access is not easy, as no trail exists.
