Asah Fall is one of the 3 popular waterfall attractions on Tioman Island. Tioman island is located on the east coast of Rompin Dsitrict, Pahang. It is only accessible via ferry from either Mersing or Tanjung Gemok. It has a small airport that operated small planes in the past but is no longer an option. Asah Fall is one of the taller waterfalls on the island, however water volume may vary depending on the weather seasons. This waterfall is located on the southern side of the island where it is only accessible by land via Pasir Sarang Burung village, Mukut village & Asah village. Hence visitors from other parts of the island will have to join boat tours to reach this waterfall.
This waterfall is suitable for beginners to visit without guidance.

Visitors can use this recorded trail as a guide.
