This powerfull fall is located in the isolated region of Gunung Benom, about 13 km from Kg Sg Klau. The easiest way to reach this small kampung is via Raub. A few km north of Raub, on the road to Kuala Lipis, you will find signage to Kg Klau. For an alternative, shorter route, you can also turn right about 7 km north of Bentong.
In Kg Sg Klau you will find sign boards to the fall. This road is not very well marked, you may have to ask for directions.

Not a vertical fall, but quite powerful

It is possible to climb up the slope at the right side of the main fall. You will pass another fall in a steep ravine. Then there is the last waterfall.

Visited Berumbun fall 6 times in the year of 2007, I regard it as one of the hidden jewel of Malaysia. The fall retains its beauty due to the terrain, only accessible by 4X4 not many are willing to charter a truck up. The journey up to the fall is stunning! Surrounded by orchards & natural floras you are exposed to the cleanest of air. The view @ the mid of the hill is to die for! You will feel the chill & thrill, one wrong turn you & your truck will be @ the foot of the hill. So If you are thinking of driving your own 4X4 please be very careful as there is only 1 road for 2 way & lots of blind stops & sharp curves. Blow your honk as you go to notify in coming trucks. The journey up takes about 1 hour, from there you need to do a “Grandma” hike for about 10 minutes where you can hear the fall but can’t see it.. Unexpectedly it will just appear! The rest is up to your imagination. zen.9557@gmail.com

Berembun Falls - visited in April 2007. Access road for last 3-5km for serious 4WD + winch only! Falls beautiful but no longer pristine - immediate vicinity polluted by un-necessary huts, toilets and some garbage etc. Several tree falls in immediate vicinity of falls make access to higher falls more difficult.
