Enchanting Land - the Berkelah Waterfalls

Not the right way to cross the river!

To reach the start of the trail, is an adventure in itself.First you have to find the right exit from the Maran-Kuantan road. About 31 km after Maran there is a signboard "Sungei Berkelah" Turn left here. A 4WD is needed, but also transport can be arranged from a nearby kampung. Contact us for more info.
The access to the falls might change after completion of the new KL-Kuantan highway.

The easier way

The first waterfall

The road ends at a spot where some shelters have been built. From here a cemented path leads to the falls.
Don't worry when at first it looks like the river has disappeared. You have first to cross a dry riverbed before reaching the first fall.
This double fall is quite impressive.

After the first waterfall a few smaller falls follow. They have olympic-size pools with crystal-clear water.
Very inviting for a refreshing bath.

On the way you will see several place which are suitable for camping. But always be careful, that the place is safe against flash-flooding!

Beautiful Berkelah

Finally the top fall is reached, again with a huge pool (picture at the right).
Walking back, following the river bed, it is very clear how the river has eroded its way down amidst huge rocks and boulders

The whole region is very attractive and unspoiled.
Keep it that way, take only pictures and leave only footsteps

Salam,,pertama kali sy menjejakan kaki ke hutan bekelah pd tahun 1995.waktu itu jln yg ada hanyalah denai org asli dan jln balak yg sudah tertutup.memang sy amat terpegun dgn keindahan pemandangan suasana hutan bekelah.air terjun yg cantik,spesis pokok2,hidupan liar,ikan2 yg begitu jinak sekali.semenjak itu sy tidak akan lepaskan peluang utk menjejakan kaki ke sana tiap2 tahun.kali terakhir pd tahun 2005.tiap kali sy kesan pasti ada perubahan terutama pd tapak perkhemahan.pokok2 byk ditebang ssuka hati.sampah2,tin2 kosong,botol kaca byk bertaburan tanpa dibawa balik semula.amat menyedihkan sekali.disini sy ingin memberikan cadangan supaya keindahan hutan bekelah dpt dipulihara semula.1-pastikan bawa keluar semula sampah.2-jgn sesekali menebang pokok2 terutama yg berdekatan sungai.3-penganjur perkhemahan hendaklah pastikan peserta yg betul2 minat shj menyertai aktiviti perkhemahan.4-hadkan peserta pd satu2 masa hanyalah sekitar 15 org shj(penganjur jgn tamak) dan kalo ada cadangan tambahan sila kemukakan. akhirkata.CINTAILAH HUTAN BEKELAH KITA UTK GENERASI YG AKAN DTG.

Antara air terjun yang sering dikunjungi. Wpun agak penat trekking tp mmg berbaloi bila tengok waterfall yg cantik. Almost every year my frens & i akan kesini utk relax dan hilangkan tension dari suasana kerja.

i agree with most comments .... very beautiful place.

Berkelah Falls can be assessed by car but it would be a slow 5km drive through an unpaved road. The condition of the road is relatively good and flat with minor pot holes (Nov 2007) where you will reach a camp-site at the end of the drive. From the camp-site, it is an easy 15 minutes trek to the double falls. From the double falls, the trek gets steeper and it would take about 30 minutes to get to the top of the falls. Watch out for flash floods or sudden down pour which could make the return trek back a bit precarious. The water is clean, the surrounding is pristine and it is not crowded. The only sore point is that there is a lot of left-over rubbish from the campers.

Hye there... I've been to Bekelah for the last couple of months. actually it's not Berkelah , it's just Bekelah. I guess so. But a friend of mine said Jerangkang is much more better. I dunno, just can''t wait till i get there..
jan 10-04-2005
The access road is a lot easier now. No need to cross the river, a new bridge has been built. A clear signboard on the old nr 2 highway to Kuantan shows clearly which exit to take. Normal car will do. Campsites are getting quite dirty..:-(
