This must be the nearest waterfall to Kuala Lumpur. Although located in the Ulu Langat Forest Reserve, access is from Cheras. Here, in the outskirts of town, a local group of enthusiasts have created a maze of trails in the hilly region of Bukit Apeh. A popular destination for jogging, it can be crowded here, especially during weekends. The trails are maintained very well.

Signboards tell you where you are, and even give emergency telephone numbers!

When you continue after reaching the top of the hill, the trail stays level for a while and finaly slopes down steeply to a nice small waterfall.

A makeshift shelter has been constructed near the fall

This waterfall is a nice reward after a quite strenuous walk. It will be interesting to see if it is possible to follow the stream down into the Ulu Langat Valley. The distance to the nearest road is about 1 km, as the crow flies. Altitude difference about 200 m
