chilling overview

Waterfal Overview

The Chiling Falls are probably the most beautiful waterfalls of Selangor. They can be reached after an adventurous trek along the river, which has to be crossed many times. To reach the trail head, you take the road from Kuala Kubu Baru to the Gap. After passing the Selangor Dam, you cross the bridge on the Chiling river. Just after this bridge you can park you car. Follow the road for about 100 meter, the trail head is clearly indicated. Soon you will arrive an open field beside the river, with some buildings and a campsite, maintained by the Fisheries department.

WATERFALL

The first river crossing is by means of a recently constructed suspension bridge. Strict rules have been introduced: after the bridge camping, fishing, making fires, etc is no more allowed. A good idea, in the past several fatal accidents have occured with flash-flooding. Hopefully the rangers will be able to maintain the place.
 The trail is clear and follows the river, but you have to cross the river five more times. So you must be prepared to get wet feet and probably more... Kampung Adidas are very useful here. After rainfall the water level can reach until your waist and the current can be strong. Take care, especially with children.fter trekking for about one and a half hour, the river makes a right-turn and suddenly you will see the lower waterfall. A quite spectacular reward. It is a powerful fall with a large pool. Lots of fish, which like to nibble your feet..:-)
There are two more falls. You reach them, by scrambling up the steep slope, just before the last river crossing. You will pass another waterfall (not accessible) before you reach the third waterfall. This place is much quieter than the lower fall and very well suited for a relaxed picnic.This is an interesting trek and a beautiful fall. But accidents have happened here, due to flash-flooding. Don't make this trip in adverse weather conditions! The river will become impassable when the water level is too high.you have to pay for a myr 100 deposit for camping (the money will be returned after you’ve done camping) but you can get less than that..the deposit is the insurance-for-the-nature,because if you’ve done some damage to the campsite surrounding,the money will be used to ‘ cover-the-damage’.. lol......
the picture above showed a bridge for the trail to the higher level of the waterfall..you can also just enjoy the waterfall from here,but the highest level provides more beautiful + a lil bit of exercise..
only took around 45minutes to 1 hour walk (my fastest time is 30minutes )along the trail with 5 river crossing (This bridge is not included as the rivers’ crossing).Beautiful place. Went there for 2 consecutive weekends. First for trekking, then camping. Captivated by the fish and butterfly yet saddened by the receding water level,presence of rubbish and the act of humans in their contribution to pollution. Campers and hikers, kindly avoid throwing rubbish along the way. If you see some please carry one or two piece back to the big rubbish bin outside the area. Together we preserve. 

Sungai Chilling is a waterfall at the foothills of Fraser's Hill, located after the dam from Kuala Kubu Bharu next to Sungai Pertak. On weekends, this picturesque river attracts many visitors from urban centers and cities such as Kuala Lumpur, along with the occasional international tourist. Besides being a recreational park, the area was also gazetted as a fish sanctuary, to preserve a local species of mahseer called 'Tengas'. Access is by a small entrance with an arch along the trunk road to Fraser's Hill, immediately after the first narrow steel bridge. There is a small clearing for you to park your car, but do not display any items of value on the seat or dashboard.
