Gersay Fall is a small horsetail waterfall with a medium sized shallow pool. It is a unique waterfall considering it is located in a region of low laying hill range, disconnected from the main Titiwangsa mountains. It has a smaller than average catchment basin which may result in low water volume during dry seasons. The pool is not deep with smooth pebbles forming the bulk of the river bed. This waterfall is suitable for beginners to attempt as a group as the trail is easy but be aware that the oil palm estate and various junctions in-between can be very confusing.

Head to Gesir Tengah as the landmark. At the junction, take the exit to Kg. Lalang.(Image 1) The road access is nicely tarred and leads pass the Kg. Lalang village to the edge of the forest. Visitors are advised to park at a small clearing here without obstructing the road and hike by foot instead. Parking spaces are limited. Ensure to get permission if parking within the land of local villagers. From here on the road access is offroad, beyond the village boundaries is a section of rocky hill climb that will be challenging for sedan cars to pass.
The trail is clear but can be confusing as there are multiple junctions without markings. After crossing the 1st bridge there will be a triple junction.(Image 2.) Take the right most path as indicated. Follow the main trail where visitors will pass 2 more basic metal bridges before arriving at an oil palm estate. At the left border of the oil palm estate is a gate going further in towards the jungle. Take the left path in at the junction where there is a sign indicating direction to the waterfall.(Image 3.) Cross a small stream and follow the semi-clear path up the slope of the hill. The waterfall will be visible not too long after crossing the small hill and down the slope.

Often this type of relatively easy to reach waterfall will be visited by individuals who have very poor civic responsibility. Visitors are encouraged to bring a plastic bag along to help remove and reduce rubbish left by such people. Thank you~
