The Chamang Waterfall in
Bentong is tucked in a lush valley bordered by verdant
tropical rainforest. It is a soothing experience to be
enveloped by such surroundings where the only sounds you
hear are the beautiful noise of jungle insects and the
rushing water.
The waterfall used to be
a favourite spot among locals who come here to fish and
while away the hours. However, with better roads, a
growing number of city folks have made the place among
their favoured destinations during weekends and
holidays. They all come for a brief back-to-nature
experience and for the refreshing fresh air cleansed and
sanitised by the forest.
Although inviting, the
waterfall may not be as safe as it looks. A safer place
to go for a dip in the cool mountain water is much
further down where there is a small meandering stream.
It is for this reason that you see many locals who come
to the area just opt for a nap or do some fishing rather
than plunging into the water.

town centre take the road that leads to Raub, take a
left turn towards the direction of a Chinese
cemetery and travel 8km on a winding dirt track to
the waterfall.
