    SUMMARY:
    If you are looking for a simple hike that is fun, flat and ends
    at a refreshing waterfall, look no further than the Pisang
    waterfall hike.

    This is a short but sweet 45 minute hike that takes you


    through lush green forest, tunnels, and rivers to finish at
    the Pisang waterfall.

    TRANSPORT:
    The hike is located near the Karak highway, in the town of
    Kampung Batu Dua Belas, Gombak, Selangor.

    To reach the trail head, aim for the Jungle Lodge Alang
    Sedayu Resort. Drive down Old Gombak road (km11)
    towards the direction of Genting Highlands. You will pass
    the nearby Hospital Orang Asli, some kampung houses
    (village houses) and a short bridge, in that order. Continue
    on until you see the Jungle Lodge sign. Then, turn left and
    go straight down. You will see a car park where you can
    park overnight for RM 10.

    To find the trail head from the car park, all you have to do
    is turn right and go straight.

    (If you turn left, you will arrive at 2 other resorts, one of
    which is the Alang Manja resort.)

    12th Mile, Jalan Gombak 51300 Selangor Darul Ehsan.

    TRAIL
    The trail consists of an easy 45 minute flat route. Most of
    time, you will be walking in the river. The waterfall itself is
    small but relatively clean and suitable for swimming. While
    many hikers do this hike as a day trip, Pisang waterfall is a
    nice place for a camping trip with spacious campsites &
    clear pools to soak in.

    After turning right from the car park1, walk straight until you
    reach a red/white road barrier2 which is near the trail head.
    You will then see a red sign board3. Walk a bit further and
    you will be able to turn left to go down to the river4.

    Once you are at the river, you will see a water plant5 on
    your right. Directly opposite the water plant (on the other
    side of it), there is a trail that leads into the forest6. Take
    this trail and walk along it for awhile.

    You will then reach another river7. At this point, you should
    turn left to continue on to the rocky trail8 beside the river.
    After a short walk, turn left to head back into the forest9
    using this trail. Then, walk straight up onto the stone steps
    until you come to an opening.

    At this opening, do not go straight. Instead, you should


    turn right. This is important as going straight will lead you
    to the Karak highway.

    After this, as you follow the trail, you will be walking beside
    a wall. Then, the trail will turn left and you will be able to
    see the 2 big twin tunnels.

    It should only take you 5 minutes to walk from the water


    plant to the tunnels.

    In the afternoon, the sunlight illuminates the tunnels,


    making it bright enough for you to walk through the tunnels
    without a torch light. But if you are planning to hike this
    trail at a time of the day when it is darker, do bring a torch
    light or a headlamp with you.

    Ref 10: Walk Up Ref 11: Walk Ref 12: Two Big
    Stone Steps Along The Wall Tunnels

    After the tunnels, the trail is quite straight forward. All you
    have to do is walk straight. Much of the walk is on the river
    or close to the river. If you veer off the river, the general rule
    is to be on the right side of the river.

    To guide your way, there are 3 major markers along the


    way as well as plenty of red & white markers. The river is
    quite shallow and if you are a person of average height
    (1.6m), the water will reach knee level at most. However,
    there are quite a lot of leeches!

    To find the first red white marker, continue on the river


    upstream for a short while after the tunnels. You will see
    the red white marker on the right side of the entrance
    before you enter the forest.

    Then, you will walk through muddy banks to come to the


    1st major marker. This is a huge tree that you will see after
    5 minutes of hiking through the forest. You cannot miss it
    as it is very distinct and there is only one like this.

    Soon after, you will get back to the river and see a “Y”
    junction with a road sign. The left fork goes to route 2
    which leads you to a short hill climb over the river and
    above the falls. The right fork will bring you to route 1
    which leads you directly to the falls.

    After turning right (route 1), you will be walking in the forest
    (but still close to the river) for 5 minutes. Finally, you will
    reach the 3rd marker, which is a very big rock. You are now
    very near the waterfalls! You just have to go around this
    large rock and walk straight after that.

    The trail will join the river once again and voila! You will see
    the waterfalls right ahead of you.

    Once at the falls, you can find a steep trail directly


    opposite that leads up to a large campsite which can
    house dozens of people. From this campsite, the trail
    branches out further to 3 more large campsites. We
    choose to go to a trail on the right for our campsite as this
    is nearer to the water source.

    Insider Tip: From our campsite, turn right and go straight


    into the river. You will find another mini waterfall there with
    a bigger “pool” area that is nicer to soak in than the main
    waterfall.
