This waterfall known as Berembun
Waterfall shown in the signboard. If you
need to go to this place. Take the long
route, go past Raub town. From there,
proceed north to Kuala Lipis road. Some
kilometers out of town, there will be
the official signs to direct you to the
correct vicinity. If you follow this
route, from the turn off, the new road
will pass through a fair size Chinese
township Sungei Raun. Next, the other
town is Kampong Sungei Klau. Notice the
huge signboard? That is the one to
promote this destination. Behind the
board, the Hardware shop.
Then a proper set of signboards are now
planted. First one, next to this Seafood
restaurant [away from sight] & then
along the trail. To start the journey
in, follow the road directly opposite
the restaurant . The name of this road?
Sungei Chalit. The track to Berembun is
not well marked. This track starts with
sharing the same route to Sungei Chalit
which is another recreation area -clear
stream and rapids. Do not get this
destination mixed up with the Berembun
Waterfalls. So if you are going
for picnic, watch out for this sign on
the way.
After 3 kilometers of "free" ride
through Cocoa Plantations, at the point
where the next sign is, there will be
junction . This is to tell you to go off
road. Take the right fork. Head for
Berembun on this track. But you need one
more turning. How far must you go before
you turn into the path leading to the
waterfall? I know that there are a
couple of them on the left. Choose one
that looks well used or ask passer-bys.
There is no sign on this critical turn.
This signage on the board hinted that
you need a off road vehicle to use the
trail to the waterfall! See for
yourself! This is the type, condition
and hardened surface you will be
traveling on for the next 10 kilometers.
Use your own discretions. The road,
steep at a couple of points hugged the
side of a steep slope. Meaning on one
side of the track, the drop is
quite dramatic. See the view of the
valley when you are driving along this
track. At the end of the trail is a
lavish car park. Of course, most of the
vehicles are 4X4s. This was their haven
before the permanent track was
established. Observe the consistencies
in road surfaces. From there, a
bridge will help you
to cross the river,
to go the Waterfall way.
A word of caution though! On the last
leg, at one point of the track, water
had washed away some top soil, exposing
the boulders underneath. Light sedan can
make it through this one point. If you
are uncomfortable. Not to damage the
undercarriage of your car, watch for
this first bridge. You could park your
car here and walk the rest of the
way. The walking time should be less
than 60 minutes. At the parking area,
there is this sign. A trail to the peak.
Watch it, this is not a low mountain
