Chasing waterfalls, bathing in rivers 🏞️
#malaysia
Here's a treat for those looking for something unique to do in peninsular Malaysia that's not over rated or expensive: visit Ulu Bendul Recreation Park, located in Kuala Pilah, Negeri Sembilan. That's about a 2.5-3hr drive from Singapore, or 1.5hr from Kuala Lumpur.
Hutan Lipur Ulu Bendul sits at the foot of Gunung Angsi, a beautiful mountain with lush rainforests. This recreation park has been developed around a freshwater river, and has fun activities for everyone!
Apart from the many streetfood and snack stalls, the park has plenty of space dedicated to playing in the water - there are several large soaking pools, a small freshwater stream, and the much larger freshwater river that originates in the mountains. The whole area is lined by beautiful lush greenery and interesting rock formations, while there is also a dedicated camping ground.
Tips foe visiting Ulu Bendul:
- Pack a swimsuit! Changing/shower rooms are available
- Entry and parking are free
- Be careful when climbing the rocks as they can be slippery
- Camping spot rentals are RM10
Address: Taman Eko-Rimba Ulu Bendul, 71500 Tanjung Ipoh, Negeri Senbilan
