The gushing water of the Chamang Waterfall in Bentong.

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.

Getting there :
Bentong is  located about 80km from Kuala Lumpur and about 200km from Kuantan. You can reach there via the Karak Highway or the old Gombak-Bentong road from Kuala Lumpur. From Bentong 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.
 
Facilities :
Chamang Waterfall has facilities such as rest areas, toilets and changing rooms.
