Paved road, good hike. Relatively short climb to get to the waterfall. The reserve was a great nature walk 👍👍 The toilet is inside the park before descending to the waterfall. Relatively Clean but missing many knobs. Male toilet no tap knob. Female toilet 1 working tap knob We walked up the paved road further after the toilet area but it was a quite a steep walk with no end in sight. We gave up after 30mins.

A steep walk with really high steps. Hikers rate this as beginner level but as a beginner, i find this intermediate 🤣 The water was cooling and some what clean.

As of 18th April 2025, the waterfall is open. The parking is plenty at this area. Parking rate is RM3. To enter the waterfall, you will see a Hutan Lipur Gunung Pulai signage and a Dewan on the left and follow the path you will cross the bridge and you can see the lower tier of the waterfall. To fully enjoy the view, keep climbing on the left of the staircase to see the clear view of the waterfall and the staircase will lead you above the waterfall as well.

ATTENTION!! The toilet, where they charge RM1, is just a hole on the ground. Don't even have flush. The new public toilet is still under construction. If you charge RM1, then it should be better than the public toilet. Not worse than that. Other than that, It was a nice experience. Must go early in the morning, so you can enjoy waterfall in the afternoon. The water is chill as ice, 5 hours hiking. Beware of monkeys. They'll steal your food, even your belongings.

Good pathway to the waterfall. Crowded but still accessible. Water is chalky when is at the lower level.
