The Lentang Recreational Forest is within easy reach of Kuala Lumpur. Although there are no real waterfalls, the park is a pleasant spot for an outing. To reach the place, just take the highway to Kuantan and take the exit to Lentang.

The entrance of the Hutan Lipur

The park is well maintained and has some food stalls

The stream has many place where you can bath safely

It is possible to continue by car along the road, leading into the Forest Reserve. Depending on your car and your experience, you will park somewhere and then you can go on trekking.

At the other side of the river you will find picnic spots and campsites

During our visit, we spotted a large number of Raja Brokke butterflies.

And we saw cute, tiny mushrooms.

The trail along the river becomes smaller and smaller. At then end it became too overgrown to proceed without a parang. Not much further there should be a water catchment area.

The river was carrying a lot of water during our visit (monsoon season)

The surroundings become more pristine at the end of the trail

And this can really be called a waterfall.

Sept 2023 Update : The Lentang Eco park has been closed for quite a long time now without any reason provided since 1st Nov 2022.
