A forest reserve on the edge of Rawang, set aside in the 1950s as a park and wildlife sanctuary. It's an old-school day out from KL: jungle streams, tiered waterfalls and the limestone cliffs of Bukit Takun rising above the trees.

Things to do

  1. The waterfallsFollow the stream trail up past several tiers of falls and pools.Map ↗
  2. Bukit TakunThe limestone hill above the park is a well-known rock-climbing spot. Its small cave, Gua Anak Takun, is home to a rare trapdoor spider.Map ↗
  3. Picnic by the streamBring food and a mat and claim a spot by the water.Map ↗
  4. Kanching FallsAnother tiered waterfall a short drive away, if you want a second swim.Map ↗

Good to know

  • Keep food packed away. The monkeys know exactly what plastic bags mean.
  • Water levels rise quickly after rain. Get out of the stream if it starts turning brown.
  • Take your rubbish home with you.
