About

This hidden gem, just 35 minutes by car from downtown Kuala Lumpur is a must-see for a retreat from the busy city. Upon entering the park, visitors are greeted by a small space for picknicks, a few swings, and even a little restaurant. This area is also inhabited by a few monkeys so keep an eye on your belongings. If you advance further into the forest and follow the water, you will be greeted by the first tier of the waterfall, complete with a small pond that is open for swimming. 

The Taman Eko Rimba Kanching Waterfall travels down seven distinct tiers, all with specific distances up the hill. The park is usually not very crowded and often very quiet. It's the perfect location to get up close and personal with the region's diverse wildlife.
