Anak Semong Falls is a medium height near vertical fan / cascade type waterfall. There is no pool at its immediate base but smaller soaking pools do exist nearby. This waterfall has a smaller than average water catchment, hence water flow may vary depending on season. Visitors will have to navigate thru a series of oil palm plantation network paths before diverging down to the river and continue the rest via river trekking. This waterfall is NOT suitable for beginners and visitors are highly advised to engage a guide who is famillar with the area.

Head to Kg Chennah as the landmark. From the small roundabout take the junction towards Kg. Esok. (Image 1) A well paved road with some scenic mountain views passes several riverside campsites and leads visitors to the interior which goes to Lata Kijang waterfall. At a split Y-junction on the outskirts of Kg Tohor, take the left road to reach the starting point of the trail head.(here) On the left there is a narrow dirt road.(Image 2) DO NOT drive inwards as there is no parking beyond this point and the ground may be muddy. Park around the vicinity of the junction by the side of the road without obstructing passing traffic. There are limited parking spaces here, larger groups will have to spread out and park else where.

Proceed by foot inwards and cross the bridge into a palm oil estate. There are many junctions in palm oil estate areas without obvious landmarks and that is where an experienced guide will be essential. Take the right path after the bridge and continue at a north-west general bearing. After crossing the vast network of oil palm estates, visitors will reach the borders of the estate where there is a water catchment like structure. (Image 3.) Beside the structure to the right is an overgrown old timber road. Not obvious and easy to miss. Follow this path down to the river and river trek / riverside trek the rest of the way to the waterfall.
