The picturesque kampung Janda Baik is located less than one hour away from metropolis KL. It is a popular destination for the townsfolk during weekends. Not many of them know that an attractive waterfall can be found in this region, up the slopes of Gunung Nuang. To go there, you take the highway exit to Janda Baik and drive all the way up the valley.
You will cross a bridge over the Sg Cemperoh
After about 15 km from the exit, the road becomes too bad for normal cars, and you will have to walk.
Follow the farmroad until the end, about 2 km.
To find the correct route, please study the GPS-map carefully. Where the farmroad ends and the jungle starts, look for a small trail to your left through the grass. The trail, although quite overgrown, is remarkably clear.
During our visit, there was quite a bad haze.
This is the end of the farmroad where the jungle trail starts
We were lucky to meet some workmen, who told us that the trail starts to the left
The jungle trail continues for another 1.5 km, gradually going uphill. We needed a parang, so progress was slow. Only at the end, we could hear the sound of rushing water.
Many parts of the trail were overgrown.
The after 40 minutes of hard work, we could scramble down to the stream
A beautiful ginger flower agains the background of falling water
The reward for all the hard work is a very nice powerful waterfall, in the middle of a pristine jungle.

Lunchtime before going back
The trail seemed to end here, and it is still far to the top of G. Nuang. We have given the fall the name Cemperoh Fall prior, but the actual name is Luroh after the stream name. There might be even more falls in the region, still waiting to be discovered.

Visited Cemperoh on 28/1/2012 as part of the climb up to Nuang. Pool under main fall was waist deep, rocky bottom. Good to note place remains relatively clean & free of trash. can find updated info on trail leading to this fall easily via google. it took us around 1hr plus from where we parked to reach this fall.

went solo-trekking to this waterfall on 2/8, trying to locate it using my nokia N82 GPS. One km before the waterfall, the jungle has been cleared for farming. From there I river-trek to the waterfall without using my parang at all.

The last time I went, we did not manage to locate the waterfalls. We end up walking 7 hours trying to locate the falls. Can someone who been there before give some direction as to where is the exact starting point? Me and my friends did pass the farm and met the farmers who told us it takes about 3 hours from the farm house to the waterfalls after 2 hours of walk. I believe we started at the wrong point. email me at aurelius.teo@gmail.com Thanks.
