If you fancy a rainforest experience, this is a good, challenging little hike. Takes about 40 minutes each way. Starts just by the turtle project place, and follows infrequent orange markers to direct you. You have to crawl at times and make your way by a few narrow rock spaces, pull yourself up a couple of slippery slopes using roots and vines, but it is all good stuff. There is also a thick black pipe that runs from the river, so you can use that as a guide too. Got to be careful, and be willing to turn back if it gets a bit much. I later heard that there is another, simpler and easier way to the falls, that is reached by passing the signposted way, walking further along the beachfront. Will have to ask locally about this. I did this way twice, morning and late afternoon, having enjoyed the spirit of it so much.

The waterfall is signposted from the main road down into Juara - and is only a short walk along a trail through the forest, then down some steps. It is really picturesque and you can swim in the pool there, or wander further downstream.

The highlight of my visit to Sg Lembing! We had a hiccup with our hotel (OYO Jasa Resort) as they were supposed to book the tour and pick us up at the hotel at 5.30am. We drove to town around 5.50am, and stopped at the food court/market in town and there were loads of 4x4 trucks and people having breakfast. We just approached a random driver and joined the tour with another group for RM60 per person. We left at 6.45am from Sg Lembing town. Such an exciting off road bumpy ride with the 4x4. It is a safe ride so don't worry about that. Around 20 mins into the forest, we reached the sunrise point, and 45 mins later we reached the start of the trek. DO rent the rubber shoes from the Orang Asli (RM3) for 2 reasons 1. Amazing grip on the wet rocks 2. Keeps your running shoes clean and dry(slightly muddy and wet trek) After a somewhat easy hike(1 hour) we reached the waterfall. (You wont get wet during the trek, so dont need to bring a change of clothes unless you want to swim in the waterfall. We even managed to keep our socks dry) There was no rainbow on the day we visited as it wasnt sunny but the waterfall was majestic indeed. Our guide was kind enough to bring hot maggi cup and also hot milo there and we had such an amazing time! (Do bring your own snacks to relax at the waterfall) We reached Sg Lembing town at 12pm. Great tour for Rm60-70. Worth it!

We went along with 3 other couples and made it a family picnic out of it. A lot of other families were also there doing barbecue as facilities are quite decent. The washroom and the changing place are far from the entry point of the waterfall and the queue to change or visit the washroom is painstakingly long. But the best part is climbing the rocky side cliffs of the waterfall all the way to the top of the waterfall and see the powerful force of the waterfall beating down the rocks. I believe this hike being the best part of the waterfall.

Visited Chamang Waterfall today mid morning where it was not crowded with tourist and it was definitely worth the visit. The waterfall definitely was ???? and it’s a good place to have a good picnic getaway from the city area especially during a weekday. Definitely should come on a weekday to avoid the crowd as it’s less crowded.

The place opens at 9am so go early to avoid the crowd and the heat. The water is clear and cool and the waterfall beating on your body provides a great massage. Be careful with small children as the water does suddenly get deep at various places. The new SOP is observed quite strictly here with good reason. Everyone has to register and have their temperature taken at the guard house before entering. Parking space is ample. There are also stalls selling finger food in case you get hungry after your swim. My family and I went on a weekday so we were lucky not to be bombarded with a huge crowd. Easily spent an hour here, just enjoying the cool water and then soaking up the sun on the many rocks nearby. Cleanliness is maintained too, hopefully all visitors will continue to keep this lovely spot clean.
