IT’s a three-hour bus ride from Kuala Lumpur to Maran, Pahang, followed by another three hours of hiking along a well-made jungle trail. But the journey to Jeram Pelangi (Rainbow Falls), near Kampung Kuala Sentul, is well worth the effort.
Rainbow Falls cascades down from a 600m hill, with the base camp situated around 300m above sea level. Satellite images reveal that the 30,000ha surrounding this hill is pure virgin jungle, devoid of neatly-arrayed oil palm plantations or jungle trails for lorries.
