Sungai Chongkak Forest River

"Escape the City in Jungle Comfort"

The Hulu Langat Road is a nature lovers lane.

Sungai Chongkak Forest River stands out as a premier recreation park that captures all the outdoor atmosphere of jungle fun without all the travel hassle.

There are several other parks to discover in the general vicinity that offer waterfalls, jungle trekking and camping options:

• Gabai Forest Waterfall
• Sungai Perdik Jungle Waterfall
• Sungai Tekala Forest Park
• Gunung Nuang Mountain Climbing

The Chongkok River gently rolls in from the scenic forested hills and flattens out amid tall jungle trees with plenty of room for camping tents.

Crowds arrive on the weekends and the park becomes a rainforest for kids. Swimming holes and water play are easy to find and the current is slow and safe.

It's easy to avoid the crowds the further you go back into the park as you follow the river. Most of the camping spots are closer to the entrance, but there are more shelters and camp areas for those who prefer a quieter jungle experience.

Multi-room chalets scattered opposite the river offer the amenities of home in the outdoors.

So whether you prefer to rough it in a tent with the kids or enjoy more creature comforts, the choice is yours.

A refreshing nature break from the city

How To Get There

The Hulu Langat road is usually slow every day due to lorries and narrow lanes. If there is no traffic, expect to reach Sungai Chongkak Forest River in just under an hour. With traffic add another 30 minutes.

• From Kuala Lumpur head out to Cheras-Kajang highway and go through the first toll way
• Take the first left exit (Exit 702 - Persimpangan Hulu Langat) where a large sign points the direction to Air Terjun Gabai, Air Terjun Tekala, and Air Terjun Batangsi
• Stay left on the two-lane road (Ulu Langat) and expect some traffic delays for the next 5 km

• Watch for a series of brown signs to Air Terjun Gabai, Hutan Rekreasi Sungai Chongkak and Hutan Rekreasi Gunung Nuang along this road and expect a left turn at a junction
• Watch for blue signs pointing the way to Hutan Lipur Sg. Chongkak, Perdik and Gabai (another 20-25 km ahead)
• Continue straight ahead on Ulu Langat road until you see the signs for a left turn to Sg. Chongkak; Hutan Lipur Gunung Nuang is another 5 km at the end of the road at Pangson
• After turning left follow the road for several kilometers, the river is to your left and there are numerous private tourist spots until you reach the end of the road
• Leave your vehicle in the parking lot and walk into the park; be prepared to carry your food and gear in without any motorized assistance
