Trail: The trail is very easy and consists of unpaved gravel paths. Certain areas have small streams, so it’s a bit wet but not slippery due to the gravel. There are signs pointing to the waterfall along the trail, so be sure to keep an eye on them. It takes around 40 minutes to 1 hour to reach the base or last checkpoint. The last 100 feet of the trail is steep, at about 40 to 50 degrees, making it somewhat challenging but still hikeable.
Upon arriving, there’s a spacious area where you can camp out, located in front of a calm stream. The waterfall is situated at the back of this area, about 100 meters away. You can venture to the Batu Bertenggek waterfall via the rocky trail, but be sure to check the weather forecast first. If there’s a sign of rain, it’s absolutely not-advisable to go there firstly due sudden kepala air and the limited evacuation zone.
Parking: Parking is free and located near the junction of the first checkpoint. Make sure to come early, as it gets fully occupied on weekends.
Overall: The view is amazing and highly recommended for...
Read moreWe decided to go to Batu Bertenggek waterfall after watching a YouTube video on it, which mentioned that the hike there is for beginner's level. Initially the trek was easy, with some elevation in different places. The challenge was the trail down to the waterfall. I think only fit beginner's may find the trail easy. For beginners who are unfit or with some form of mobility issue, I think they might want to consider. The trail down to the waterfalls was the biggest challenge- it was steep and slippery in many places. Even though I saw many in their sandals I do feel good hiking shoes are a must. We arrived at around 8ish but there were already many people there which was not surprising since it was a weekend. The waterfalls were picturesque with the biggest one leaving me in awe! Was it worth it? I thought it was. Would I come again? I might if I am in for some really good exercise. All in all it was a good experience....
Read moreIt’s an easy to moderate hike even for a beginner. Took us about 30 mins to reach the waterfall. The first half of the trails are rather flat, but the trail as you’re reaching the waterfall is quite steep.
Signages are everywhere which makes the whole hikes convenient even it’s your first time here.
You can park your car nearby the bridge next to Kolam Air Panas Kerling. No one is collecting the parking fees, just ensure your cars didn't block the road.
If you plan to camp there, best to stay at the landed flat area since the flat areas as you hike up to the waterfall point are limited.
If you’re lucky you’ll get to see some big butterflies...
