What, Where, Things to know


A handy rope makes the going easier on the steep uphill climb.

Each time I travel on the Karak Highway, I am struck by the beauty of the rolling hills that are part of the Titiwangsa Range on both sides of the expressway. Less visible though is the Sungai Pisang waterfall located along the highway, a mere 30-minute drive from Kuala Lumpur.

The waterfall is accessible via the old Gombak-Genting road through a junction leading to some private chalets. A left trail along this road leads down to the water’s edge just before the pump house.
