Chamang Waterfall

Easy • 2-3 hours

One of the most popular waterfalls in Pahang — a powerful 20-metre cascade with a natural swimming pool at its base, just 10 minutes from Bentong town. Well-maintained facilities make it the easiest waterfall visit in the Janda Baik area, and the only one with changing rooms, a car park, and food stalls on-site.
