waterfalls at Perak



Perak is another large state with its eastern state boundary in mountainous area. There is an uncounted number of waterfalls yet to be discovered! But there are also numerous waterfall areas opened up for public usage.
Among the waterfalls with easy access, there are a couple of spectacular falls.

Waterfall near Kampar

It does not happen often that you can walk from the town center to a waterfall, but in Kampar it is possible. A 45 minute walk from the Yau Kee restaurant in Kampar (famous for its Roti Ayam) will bring you there. If you come by car from KL, you turn right to Kg Batu Berangkai, just before the Bomba. From this junction it is less than 2 km to the fall. You will pass an Orang Asli village on your way.

Some shelters have been built along the stream

The Batu Berangkai Fall is not spectacular, but it has a nice pool with very clear water. You can continue your walk upstream for a few more cascades.
