Sungai Pisang Waterfall Trail

Why go

Barely 30 minutes from the city, this river-wading trail runs through two old railway-style tunnels to a pretty jungle waterfall. It is more splash than climb, so it is a fun first jungle trek for friends who do not do mountains.

⭐ Don't miss: Walking through the tunnels with the river flowing beside you
