waterfalls at Pahang



Pahang is a large State, taking up a large portion of the Peninsula, and sparsely populated. This is a state with high hills, tall mountains and large alluvial plains, a natural place for waterfalls.
A few of these waterfalls are within easy reach, for most of them some effort is needed

AccessibilityFootpath

The Robinson Falls are located in Tana Ratah, the center of the Cameron Highlands. You can walk a number of jungle trails and one of them, nr 9, leads in a short walk to this attractive waterfall.

The trail starts at this pedestrian bridge

The falls are clearly signposted


A well maintained footpath

Most waterfalls are approached from below, but for this one you start upstream in the village. The first cataract is nice but the view is spoiled a bit by the constructions of the water treatment plant

The first cascade

Approaching the main fall

The main fall is quite impressive. It is located in a deep ravine. In the past it was not so easy to view the fall because of the many trees, but they have been cleared now.

The main fall

In the rainy season this fall must be even more powerful

After the fall the path keeps going down steeply. There might be more falls or cascades, but they will not be easy to reach, because the ravine is very steep.
