This must be the nearest waterfall to Kuala Lumpur. Although located in the Ulu Langat Forest Reserve, access is from Cheras. Here, in the outskirts of town, a local group of enthusiasts have created a maze of trails in the hilly region of Bukit Apeh. A popular destination for jogging, it can be crowded here, especially during weekends. The trails are maintained very well.
At the trail head there are a few stalls, a toilet, even a changing room. | 
Part of the trail is very steep. | 
Signboards tell you where you are, and even give emergency telephone numbers! |
When you continue after reaching the top of the hill, the trail stays level for a while and finaly slopes down steeply to a nice small waterfall.

A makeshift shelter has been constructed near the fall |
This waterfall is a nice reward after a quite strenuous walk. It will be interesting to see if it is possible to follow the stream down into the Ulu Langat Valley. The distance to the nearest road is about 1 km, as the crow flies. Altitude difference about 200 m
Not powerful, but very attractive | 
A nice place to relax |

I was there on 27-Oct-07, as mentioned the fence is coming up soon. It is so sad that they have to seal up the place but hopefully the gate will be still open for the public to enter the place.
I think some of the people who wants the place to be closed, is very mean. On my way out, while walking to my car which I parked near the football field, there was a lot of nails thrown, big and small all over the exit of the parking area near the wooden stall. And it is partially covered with the sand. It was not there when I walked in, I am very sure. So please be careful if anyone wants to park near there.

Went to Ah Pak San on 28.10.2007. Heard from the regular trekkers that the authorities are fencing up the area but there will be an access gate. Also DBKL will build a carpark if a suitable area can be found.

The authority proposed to close the place for public is nonsense. The complaints by the locals as to behaviour of trekkers are groundless. Does any one know of any activist group to fight to keep the place open for trekkers? if so, let me know, i will join in their movement!
