Chelik Fall
Chelik Fall is a single vertical drop cascade fall that flows down the rock face in a fan like spread. Touted as one of the top 20 tallest waterfalls in Asia with an estimated height of 300m, it is listed as one of the attractions of Lembah Kinta National Geopark.(Image 1) Geopark Booklet : (here) During wet seasons, it is an impressive sight that is bound to leave visitors in awe.
Chelik Fall trailhead can be accessed via Simpang Pulai from the west or via Blue Valley for visitors from the eastern side. The trailhead is marked on Google Maps. (here) After taking the junction inside, there is a small clearing where visitors can park their vehicle. Ensure to park orderly to avoid onstructing other visitors. Proceed by foot from here on.
There is no place to camp near the fall, and also there is not really a pool for swimming. We had no time to check if it was possible to climb up to the top of the fall. If possible at all, it will not be easy.
Trivia : The name Chelik Fall may not be entirely accurate since the waterfall is on Sg. Braham while Sg. Chelik is the main center stream. But over the years its name has been adopted even by official sources it makes little sense to try and rename it.
