Brumin Falls consist of 4 known waterfall levels which are centered closely together. The waterfall series is an interesting one, with a mixture of tall and mid sized waterfalls that has pools at certain levels. The waterfall is located behind oil palm estates and flanked by steep rocky slopes, hence it is dangerous for visitors to attempt without a guide. This waterfall is also NOT suitable for beginners.
Brumin Falls 4
Head to Tapah town as the nearest landmark, from Tapah take the Jln Pahang road towards Cameron Highlands. Near SK Kg Pahang, take the junction heading to Kg Bermin.(Image 1.) The access road is a properly tarred village road that ends close to the Batang Padang river. At the very last village take a right to the starting point of the trailhead (here) where there are spaces to park by the road shoulder a clearing nearby. Ensure to park properly without obstructing local folks. Proceed by foot from here on out.
Up ahead is a hanging bridge spanning across the powerful Batang Padang river. Cross the river and visitors will pass orchards before reaching an oil palm estate. Oil palm estate roads can be very confusing, hence a guide is highly recommended to avoid getting lost. Head south-east where visitors will arrive at a 4 junction intersection.(Image 2.) The right most path could possibly link to the nearby Kg Kenoh road but it is not verified. Proceed straight to the indicated path going east where a small stream is visible. Cross to the right side of the stream where there is a visible trail. Follow this trail and keep left where visitors will pass wooden huts before arriving at a second cluster of huts. Keep left at this junction as well heading to the river.(Image 3.)

Further along the trail, visitors will reach a river crossing.(Image 4.) Unless visitors wish to skip the Brumin Falls 1, avoid crossing the river and river trek the rest of the way instead. Brumin Falls 1 is 200m away from this junction. There are 2 falls in-between before reaching the grand Brumin Falls 4 (main photo) but due to the steep terrain, visitors are advised to skip them and proceed straight to the final fall. They are documented below. (Image 5 & 6)
To proceed to Brumin Falls 4, backtrack to the river junction and take the trail on the right of the stream uphill. Once close to the waterfall there is a faint path down.
Use the same entrance trail to exit the area.
