Asah Fall
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.
As of 2025, there is only one way to reach Tioman Island which is by ferry. There are no commercial flights to Tioman Island. There are 2 ferry service operators, Cata Ferry and Bluewater Ferry that departs from either Tanjung Gemuk (Pahang side border) or Mersing (Johor side town). Visitors also need to be aware that Tioman Island consist of 7 villages either on the east, west and south of the island which are not completely interconnected by road access. Depending on the ferry operator & seating capacity, the ferry will not be stopping at every village and visitors will have to arrange further transport either by rental motorcycles, island taxis (pickup trucks) or by speedboat. Visitors can familiarize themselves of the island layout by referring to the map below. (Image 1.)
Head to Warisan Eco Asah Camp where the trailhead is located. The access entrance is signposted clearly (Image 2.) where there is a cemented path with handrails going uphill. Along the trail there are some rest huts and basic facilities. Is is unclear if the toilet amenities are still maintained and functional. Be aware that the parts of the pool thou small in size can be quite deep and during wet seasons the water volume may increase drastically.
