"The waterfall is easily accessible, not much crowd here. There are more floors & places above but due to rain they close the upper area, the water-falling areas are very deep, so itβs instructed to be around over the rocks & stay safe, the water itself is not so clean but for the views & a bit of light dips to get wet, the waterfall is worth a visit. Washroom, prayer area is available on premises. The internet around this area is a bit weak. MYR 2.0 is the ticket to entrance to this park."
Nawfal Ahmed Khan
"Bring small money. Entrance fee adult RM2 child RM1.
There are changing rooms.
Toilets only for males can be used.
I would recommend teenagers to the section before red coloured chalet (as I'm picture). Arus kinda deras."
