The Jerangkang Falls can be reached from the KL-Kuantan road. About 30 km after passing Maran, turn left at a signboard 'Hutan Lipur Jerangkang'.
The road leads through rubber plantations and passes under the new KL-Kuantan Highway.
For the last part a 4WD is needed, but that may change as work is in progress on the access road.

Transport to the falls can be arranged from a nearby kampung. Contact us for more info.

Camping near the waterfall

From the place where the car can be parked, it is only a 15 minute walk to the first waterfall.

Near this waterfall there is a perfect place for camping.
Still clean, but for how long?

The fall ends in a nice pool, the campsite's own bathroom...
A nice place to relax

Trekking along the river

From the campsite a clear trail leads uphill alongside the river. The main trail is on the right bank, but it is also possible to cross the river and follow the left bank.

An 'endless' succession of waterfalls is the reward, most of them with attractive pools

According to the locals, there is a total of 43 separate waterfalls.
These pictures cover the falls until step 15, so there is still work to be done...!

This series of waterfalls belongs definitely to the most attractive that can be found in Malaysia!

The trail is well marked, but in the upper parts, some scrambling is required

This region is well-known with the locals for its beautiful orchids

Because the river has eroded a broad gully, it is never difficult to find your way back

I was impressed with the nature and the surrounding!you feel in the paradise.When you reach there, you must walk for 5 min to find the first waterfall.But please keep climbing to the second waterfall, where you find a lagoon to swim!! Attention - The rocks are very slipery, and to swim there you need to be experimented swimmer.4WD is needed to reach there, but drive carefully. you need to across the river with your truck, dont trust in the wood bridge. And to conclude, dont leave your trash there, PLEASE KEEP THAT PLACE NATURAL, CLEAN AND WILD.Thanks

Berapa kali dah sampai?? tak terkira bnyak kali sangat dh.. kenapa selalu sgt masuk?? tempat paling best untuk tiruk n terjun botol..susah nak jumpe tempat lain cam jerangkang.. saya mula kenal jerangkang tahun 1999 time tu utan dia \'virgin\' lagi..sgt bersih.. org pun tak ramai masuk.. sejak jln dh elok n ada sign board jt tepi jln raya tuu..org dh tau dan mula ramai masuk..pantaun jabatan utan pun kurang..maka org ramai yg masuk tanpa kesedaran sivik pun mula mengotorkan campsite dengan mcm2 sampah..saya juga beberapa kali menjalankan opersai pembersihan dengan kwn2 yang sayangkan tempat ni..tapi kekotoran masih berlaku..saya menyeru sapa sapa yang masuk jerangkang jaga lah kerbersihan dan keindahan jerangkang..bawak semua sampah keluar..jgn bakar or tanam.. jerangkang dh saya anggap mcm kampung sendiri..so sama sama ler peminat rekreasi dan pencinta alam menjaganyer demi warisan generasi akan dtg.. nak transport masuk jerangkang (4wd) kontek ler saya..012 9338922-koi

Been to this fall today. It will take u one hour driving to the falls from the main road. 4WD is a must. The road is getting real bad for cars. The place was deserted when i was there. RUBBISH EVERWHERE. The campsite is too far from water. U have to scramble down the rocks to reach the pool. All in 3 1/2 hours driving to this falls is not worth the trouble.

just to add for the comments our friends have been written,well what can you say about this waterfall is just except wow....!Me and my teaching collegge class have been there in 1996,we went there for camping.At that time there were no road except for an abondant timber trail.We start our journey by boat from paya Bungor lake than walk through the thick jungle for more than 3 hours.We camp at the wterfall for 2 days,but we just cannot reach the point of the waterfall.It was an extraordinary faterfall and our experience there was unbelievable.I guest we're lucky to reach there before all the rubbish. 9w2asd@gmail.com

1) Getting more accessible, no problem for Kembara at all.
2) The campsite near the river starting to become like Berkelah. Getting polluted :(. Fresh rubbish left over by some local university students when we trek up.
3) Quite new public facility at the base camp including toilet with flush.
4) Some inner area to another river is quite damaged by logging and/or forest fire. Feel like Saruman

A friend of mine recently visited Jerankang and scrambled uphill past the last waterfall. Steep and slippery. They reached another fall, but the water flow was less than at the lower falls, there must be other water sources. It is clear that more work needs to be done!
razlan20-09-2004
Some changes since i last went in 1999 The waterfalls area are still relatively clean. In the parking area at start of the trek, Forestry dept (i guess) has erected toilets, huts cooking area. This can acommadate a lot of people.(i.e. kem motivasi). Hope the place can be kept pristine as before. oh yeah when there on 18sept04.
