Bukit Takun

🌺🌺🌺 Worth the Detour · 🥾 Hiking Trails

Why go

That dramatic limestone tower you see from the Rawang highway is actually hikeable. A short, sharp climb through Templer Park forest ends with monkeys and big views, and the same rock hosts some of Selangor's best multi-pitch climbing.

⭐ Don't miss: The summit view across Templer Park and the Rawang valley

Kanching Falls (Taman Eko Rimba Kanching)

💦 Waterfalls · Templer's Park, Rawang, Selangor

🧒

Just half an hour from KL, Kanching is the classic seven-tier waterfall where generations of Klang Valley families have had their Sunday picnics. The first few tiers are reached by concrete steps, and the upper falls reward a short jungle scramble with quieter pools. Come early on weekends lah, parking runs out fast.

Don't miss: Climbing past the fourth tier to the quieter upper falls
