Pisang Fall

Jungle Lodge

Pisang fall is located next to the Karak Highway. From the old Gombak road to Genting, after passed through two traffic lights, there will a entrance on your right hand side that pointed to the jungle lodge, be careful for the entrance; it was easily to miss it. Slow down when passing through the Hospital Orang Asli, there will be a quick descent to the entrance parking lot. After parked your car there, we had to walk along the river for 15 minutes until to reach the water pump house. Crossing the river side to reach the opposite river bank, follow the narrow trail until you reached the stairway.

Stairway

Along the way, you will experience the slashing from the sharp edges of the grass and scrubs. After climbed up the stairway , you will heard the whizzing sound from the vehicle above us, and it's remind us that we are right bottom on the Karak highway now.Follow the trails, you will meet the twin tunnels. The tunnels just underneath the Karak highway, it was damp and dark inside there. Go through the tunnels, you will find yourself another part of the Wonderland! It was a jungle trail indeed, and follow the river side if you want to reach the pisang falls .

Pisang Fall

The trail difficulty is easy and the hike will take approximately 2 hours to and back via river and jungle trails to reach the waterfall. We had crossing several rivers before to reach pisang fall. There are two waterfalls, one is directly head to river flow, while another head to the pool. I was wonder why this fall called as pisang falls, does it really look alike pisang. Well, try imagine! We did enjoyed the scenery and breeze over there, and not to forget to having our set lunch- sandwiches. It is advisable to bring along the salt due to there will be leeches alongside of rock and pool.

Leeches

We had saw some people was fishing at the pool with man-made fishing rod with bread as bait, and they success to catch few fishes, perhaps, it could be a nice fishing spot too.
Around 11.30 am, we decided to head back. It was a nice getaway for city folks if you want some relaxation and to have a peace in your mind. I did enjoyed the pathway to reach pisang falls in which we had to crossing several rivers bank, and the water is clear, and cool. Along the slow movement of the river flow with reflection of dense tree-canopy tropical forest, it makes you feel like get into the world of Pandora!
