Gapoi Fall is an powerful fan fall with 2 tiers that cascades into a large pool with sandy river bed. Near the base of the waterfall, water splashes against the left rock face resulting in a powerful current and strong misty spray. Visitors should approach the waterfall with caution as water volumes can be very ferocious during wet seasons. This waterfall is suitable for beginners to attempt as the trail is straightforward and short. Visitors should however keep in mind that there is a major stream crossing at the start of the trail without a bridge, so do not linger around when there is a chance of incoming rain storm or risk getting stuck for hours!

Gapoi Fall

Head to Telemong town as the nearest landmark. This is a small village town accessible from the north via Karak or from the south via Simpang Pertang. Near the Sg Gapoi Water Treatment plant (here), there is a junction going in towards an aboriginal village beside a bus stand. Take this junction to head inwards. The village road is initially tarred road, but beyond the village boundaries it will be a flat gravel double track road instead. Normal sedan cars can still travel on this road but it is narrow and can only accommodate one way traffic. Proceed with caution.
The gravel road will reach a forked junction with a small clearing on the right for parking. It can accommodate about 3-5 vehicles at a time. Ensure to park considerately to avoid obstructing other visitors and passing traffic. Proceed by foot from here on out.

In the past when visited by our seniors Jan, the opposite side of the river is still a bush and part of the jungle. It is no longer the case now with an oil palm plantation in place. The river crossing to reach the right side of the stream has concrete submerged slabs with water levels usually reaching below knee levels. After crossing the stream, follow the clear trail up the gradual slope thru the oil palm plantation. After a short 15mins walk visitors will reach Gapoi Fall. Local municipal has build some shelter huts here with a signboard for photo snapshots but there are no restroom facilities. Ensure to keep the place clean for later visitors to enjoy.
