Hear From Others

It is a relatively easy hike with the majority of it being flat. The only hill is the first 500m as you come out of the car park and head up to the pool area. Then it is about 1.5km along the river to the falls. Both Molly and I are keen to go back with inner tubes and float down the river.

Overall, I was surprised to encounter loads of exotic animals and plants in the jungle. The jungle trek is well-marked and the waterfall is AWESOME! Happy to say that I was not bitten by any leeches despite wearing a pair of cheap rubber slipper with all my toes exposed. Waterfall trekking is a MUST DO EVENT in Templer’s Park Jungle Waterfall.
