#8 Waterfalls in Malaysia · 2026
Kanching Falls (Taman Eko Rimba Kanching)
🌺🌺🌺 Worth the Detour · 💦 Waterfalls
Why go
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

🥾 Hiking Trails · Templer Park, Rawang, Selangor
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.
