Chamang Tropical Waterfall

"Chill Out, Camp Out or Swim In"


Nestled amid gorgeous rainforest habitat, the Chamang tropical waterfall is a jungle oasis just off the Karak Highway.

When you want to escape the city or just find a travel idea for kids, then head over to Bentong for a day trip. Then follow a winding road past kampungs and forests to the rising hills that dominate the horizon.

Set up by the Pahang Forestry Department, Hutan Lipur Sungai Chamang (Chamang River Recreation Park) is just one of over twenty of these small and accessible forest parks in the state. As part of the Bukit Tinggi Forest Reserve, large tropical rainforest trees surround the river for a great scenic view.

Here's a sample of what you can do at Chamang tropical waterfall:

  • Need a picnic idea? Grab the goodies and find a nice spot along the Chamang River in a relaxing atmosphere.
  • Beat the jungle heat with a splashing good time in the shallow waterfall pools just below the falls.
  • Take a simple stroll along both sides of the river and enjoy the scenery with plenty of waterfall pictures to take home.
  • Schedule a camping trip with the kids or school group to explore the rainforest day and night.
