Pelaga Falls is a waterfall series consisting of 4 known waterfall levels. Pictured below is the Pelaga Fall 4 which has a vertical cascade drop before flowing down a rock face slope into a small soaking pool. There is no known stream name, hence the name of the waterfall is adapted from the nearby Air Terjun Bukit Telaga.(which itself is just a stream with a series of cascades & pools, despite the air terjun name) With a challenging steep landscape and non-existent trails, this waterfall is NOT suitable for beginners. Visitors are highly advised to engage a guide for their own safety.

Pelaga Falls 4

Head to Fraser Hill as the landmark and navigate to the Sri Muneeswarar Temple by the roadside. By the roadside near the temple is clearings where vehicles can park when there is no events at the temple. Park without obstructing passing traffic. Proceed by foot from here on out.

Near the temple is a small bridge where a stream flows across the road, there is barely any trace of a trail here. Bushwhacking is to be expected by riverside trail. The first two waterfalls are documented below with their respective position. The third fall (Image 3.) is harder to access, visitors will have to scale up the mountain on the left passing a large tree with roots above ground to reach.
