Experience the beautiful Journey through rainforest into the Ulu Kanching Falls.
The Kanching Eco Forest Park (Taman Eko Rimba Kanching) is located at Rawang and is about 21 km away from Kuala Lumpur. If you are looking for a few hours off your regular routine, head for this tropical rain forest and spend one to three hours here. This forest is a popular spot for a picnic during the weekends.
Upon entering the park, visitors will be greeted by natural greenery with a beautiful lawn and a gentle stream covered with pebbles where children and adults can have a splashing good time. There are gazebos, stone benches, and a bridge across the stream, making this area a good spot for picnics. Further up this spot is the verdant forest reserve. Before reaching the first waterfall, the stream flows gently, making this area a natural water park for children. The cement steps will lead you to the first waterfall. It is a small waterfall of about 4 to 5 meters high. The water tumbles forcefully and almost vertically into the groove at the base and flows to the right side of the waterfall.
