Exploring the
State of |
|
|
Segregated by the Main Range, Pahang always seemed so remote
A state blessed with high mountains and yet having a couple of isolated hills.
Sparsely populated, the natural waterfalls here remain pristine.
The few that are well known are easily accessible but at the same time stayed clear of civilization
to retain its original charm.

Every waterfall hunter will without reservation concur that Berembun and the Berkelah waterfalls are a class of its own.
Then there are the lesser known Waterfalls of Tanglir and the near impossible to reach, 4-Steps Waterfalls of Taman Negara.
If you are looking for adventure -Pahang is the State.
If you want to be among the earliest to reaching a waterfall, then this is the vicinity as well.
Surprisingly, Waterfalls in Pahang give meaning to this segment of our site.
Just a few hours of trekking from the main road, you are among the few who experience the closely guarded secrets of the jungle.
The hunting grounds are at your door step! Go out and get them!

These are the Waterfalls we have catalogued so far.
More will be added as and when I find time to visit them.
