Kedongdong Falls is a single drop fan/punchbowl type waterfall. It features a large and deep pool with considerable current. To reach the waterfalls, visitors will have to hike a beginner friendly trail starting from the recreational park of the Kedongdong river that is located alongside the road from Batang Kali to Gohtong Jaya head to Genting Highlands. The recreational park is a popular place during the weekends for family picnics with basic amenities. There are some food stalls, a children playground, shelters and toilet facilities. The river water is clean and there are beautiful cascades along the river. Visitors are advised to pay attention and practice caution to any change in the weather as dangerous flash floods and river surges here is not uncommon. The trail is not difficult (thou slightly technical) and reasonably clear, making this waterfall suitable for beginners.

Head to Batang Kali town as the landmark. Visitors have to use the Batang Kali side access road at the moment as further up closer to Gohtong Jaya the road is closed due to the Dec 2022 landslide incident. At the traffic light junction, turn into Jln Batang Kali - Genting Highlands.(Image 1) Proceed along the main road to the recreational park entrance. The recreational park can be crowded during the weekends, parking space may not accommodate the volume and vehicles can be seen parking alongside the road shoulder. Park responsibly without obstructing others.

There is a clear trail from the parking to the waterfall. On the right a cemented flight of stairs will lead visitors on a well trodden trail to the waterfall. The trail on the right of the river is ribbon marked at intervals quite obviously and spilt junctions eventually lead to the same path and destination. The trail is not technical and only has small creek crossings but parts of it can be challenging for hiking first-timers. Beginner friendly but younger visitors will require supervision. Visitors will reach a small campsite where the waterfall is in sight in around 25mins or less.

A nice place for a weekend picnic

The waterfall comes as a reward with a huge pool. A small campsite by the riverbank is suitable for camping activities. You can continue the trail to the top of the fall, where you will find a second smaller tier which also features a pool of its own.

There is always some irresponsible individuals who leaves something behind here ranging from food & drink litter to camp gear. Visitors are encouraged to bring a garbage bag and remove these items to preserve the natural environment and beauty. Every little effort counts and makes an overall significance. Thank you~

ej18071981 <- the track to the waterfall is not too obvious maybe due to less people use it. But if you just try to not stray too far from the river you should find it. Just went there last week.

Stopped at the rekreasi park, and we get to see water fall earlier than we thought (thanks to the clouds) but any way we had a look around as some people commented it is difficult to locate the trail. What we found was from the upper part of the car park, we walked down to the river where there is a bridge. we crossed that bridge and followed a concrete path (half covered by the flora) till a very nice spot further up the river, where this path seems to end. Do we need to walk up the river/boulders from there up to the fall or is there a path or trail all the way way to the top? Note on the cleanliness: overall apart from the stretch of river with pinic shelters near car park, going up from there was pretty unspoiled. ;-) and so nice. Will definately ngo back there on a sunnier day to seek for the fall.

I was there on 011109 with my friends.We climb all the way up following the river as we could not find a road up.Did not reach the waterfalls cause everyone was tired but we manage to find a nice spot for a relaxing deep and picnic. The water was crystal clear and cold.Everyone enjoy, but suddenly the water turn brown. Luckily we notice earlier as it was flash flood.Everyone was save,no injury.We even manage to find a road back down.Nobody would have notice that there is a road cause the tree have fallen and covered it.I think there use to be alot ppl going to the waterfalls but now it was abandon.Here are some picture taken by us http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=116529&id=715434370

It is really a wonderful waterfall. Not many ppls know this place yet so you can enjoy the peaceful and listen to sound of nature. We 3 ppls go to find this waterfall today and it is very easy to go up to the upstream fall.. but...we see some rubbish a long the way. Hope those go to this waterfall, keep it clean!
