Jelebu Falls is a series of 5 known waterfall levels. The waterfall is better known by the name of its 2 featured waterfall, Jeram 3 Lapis & Jeram Enggang. The name "enggang" is associated with the hornbill bird and similar use of the name is also used for one of the waterfall levels at Tesong Falls. It is also interesting to note that several intermediate falls between Jeram 3 Lapis & Enggang do not have individual names but are no less noteworthy.
There have been efforts by the forestry department to make the place an eco attraction with basic facilities with significant improvements to the trail to make it easier for visitors. Due to these improvements, the waterfall is suitable for beginners to attempt without a guide.

Head to Kuala Klawang as the landmark town. From Kuala Klawang town head down south to Kg Ulu Jelebu.(here) For visitors who does not have 4WD, there is a pickup spot here where transport service can take you in to the campsite. While sedan cars can still possibly drive in, it is not advisable to do so for large groups as the road inside is narrow with the last section a sloped gravel path. Sedan cars will not be able to pass this final section. Once at the campsite, there is a large space for parking. Park responsibly and proceed by foot from here on out.

To visit Jeram 3 Lapis, follow the footpath trail on the right down a flight of stairs. An elevated walkway will take visitors right to the waterfall roughly 5-10mins away. For Jeram Enggang, proceed upstream and take a short flight of stairs to the stream. Cross the stream and follow the signposted "Jeram Enggang" signboard. The clear trail is well used and some climbing sections are constructed with metal stairs & handrails. Jeram Enggang (Image 1.) will be in sight at the end of the trail.
To exit, follow the same trail back out.
