W a t e r f a l l s of Peninsular Malaysia

Exploring the State of

Perak - State with high mountains

Perak Darul Ridzuan - Land of Grace. 21,000 sq. kilometers in Land area. Population  of 2 millions.

From the historical town of Pasir Salak to the new East-West Highway in Simpang Pulai. Perak offers many sights.

Waterfalls hunters have the Temengong Area and Cameron Highlands Mountains to pitch their skills.
The Waterfalls in Perak, they are either very well known and hence patronized or unknown, rarely visited by outsiders.

A good example here will be Lata Kinjang - very popular. On the opposite, Chelik that no one ever heard of this place. Reaching the lesser known waterfalls in Perak is usually very easy.  The closeness of  its highways to the slopes has rendered left such locations, easily accessible. You will also be well rewarded, the thinly populated settlements near the waterfalls have kept many beautiful spots in near pristine state.

There are more scenic sights, those waterfalls that requiring a few hours of trekking. These are kept as closely guarded secrets of the jungle. The playing fields are out there.

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