Let’s start my Bukit Tinggi series, done this quite long time ago, soon i will go there again for photo shooting purpose. I still remember i just got my new machine Nikon D200 that time, and not really know how to use my DSLR camera on proper way. Yes, i’m carried 2 camera that time which the other 1 was Nikon D40 which sold to my friends year ago.

Bukit Tinggi Resort ( Berjaya Hill Resort) not far from Kuala Lumpur, it takes about hour plus car journey from Kuala Lumpur Karak Highway. Tall & rich of tropical trees and plants surround most of the route to the top. If you come from the Kuala Lumpur-Karak Highway, the turnoff to the Bukit Tinggi Resort is at the 48 km milestone, about a few kilometers down after the exit points to Janda Baik and the Selesa Hillhomes. And if you’re coming from Kuantan, take the same highway to Kuala Lumpur for a journey of about two and half hours.

Bukit Tinggi offer unique theme unlike others hill, such as Rabbit Farm and Japanese Village. Bukit Tinggi, encompassing about 16,000 acres, and surrounded by lush tropical rainforests, is located about 48 km away. Before enter to Bukit Tinggi Resort, there’s a 16 ringgit entrance fee need to pay for admissions to Japanese Village, Colmar Tropicale and Rabbit Farm.

Bukit Tinggi Japanese Village consists of beautiful gardens to a waterfall, impressive koi ponds and up to a Japanese Tea House. It was planned and designed by a Japanese architect, Mr Kaio Ariizumi and built by a team of 22 skilled craftsmen from Japan. We found there’s full of spirit of Japanese at the moments. It is worth to visit especially photography purpose or relax; a lot of nature plants & live that you can find at Japanese Village.

Another waterwall we visited on last weekend, along with Myin, Fatty, Eugene, Anston, Aaron, Alvin Chew, and Logical Yuan. Nice to meet you guy, and really enjoy the trip, just the lunch sucks. 1st time visit to Kanching Waterfall, and reliance that i’m old already since meet up with those younger friends. Kanching Waterfall and Kanching Recreational Forest is one of the Forest Reserve in Malaysia, and noticed that lot of people visit on weekend. It was great place for nature photo shooting and also for picnic purpose. Pity me to act as Malaysian citizen as i no idea where is it before i came and Kanching Waterfall is one of the well-known among the locals, and my parents used to brought me when i’m small little boy.

Kanching Waterfall, Kanching Recreational Forest, Selangor Malaysia

How to go here? We start our journey from Sri Petaling, using MRR2 highway direct to Jalan Ipoh there, after Batu Cave there follow Kuantan direction, all the way to Selayang then before Rawang there, then u will saw Hutan Lipuh Kanching on your right hand site, make a u turn because there was divider that cant make u right turn. Journey took about 45min or less than that.

Some description about Kanching Waterfall, Kanching Recreational Forest:

This tourist attraction is an excellent place for picnicking and camping especially near its cascading waterfalls.The more popular spots among picnickers are the second and third levels, where the waterfalls end in spacious pools and bouldered streams. At the lower level, the torrents slow down into a calmer river, providing a safer place for children to take a dip.

The recreational forest, a great hideout for a weekend getaway or a picnic, is well-known among the locals. The forest holds special appeal for nature lovers in search of peace and serenity in its waterfalls, which is definitely worth a visit.

The 1st Waterfall – Lata Bemban : Not much visitor stop by this Lata Bemban waterfall, level space is limited and not easy to get down to the poll.

Some info about Sungai Gabai Fall would like to share here:

One of the most spectacular waterfalls in Selangor, Sungai Gabai Waterfalls consist several falls cascading from an impressive height of 100m to a series of pool at the foot of the falls.

The swirling, gushing water making its descent simply a sight to behold. Apart from swimming and picnicking, wading in the river among the rocks and boulders can be an exciting outing for the whole family.
