My waterfall friend Siang Hui told me about a waterfall in the Genting Highlands, virtually unknown, but development had started so he advised me not to wait with a visit. On 30 November 2021 Aric and I drove to Gohtong Jaya. There was a lot of traffic, many lorries and bulldozers, We expected that access might not be allowed, but no problem. We proceeded carefully, muddy roads.
Not very inviting. |
After passing the construction site, the road was much better |
In about 15 minutes we reached the first waterfall |
From there a (recent?) concrete footpath followed the river |
Less than 10 minutes later we reached the main fall |
An almost vertical fall, surprisingly powerful |
The waterfall is close to the Gohtong Jaya - Ulu Yam road. A real beauty.

An almost vertical fall |
Aric and the fall |
From the fall we started climbing a metal staircase |
We decided to climb the stairs, hoping that we could exit at the top and avoid the construction site.
Concrete steps. Probably a recent construction |
But ending at a fence and a locked gate |
No problem, I climbed the gate and Aric passed the fence. |
