This trek is all about being in pristine nature, waterfalls & rivers - an active and healthy way to spend a day. In the cool waterfall environment, how does sipping hot coffee/tea and fresh fruits while enjoying your lunch sound? No real need for hiking tee - this is a WET WET WET day.

Sungei Yong is a relatively unknown river about 18 km east of Kluang, Johor. It is located in the same oil palm plantation as Gunung Belumut. Gunung Belumut is an isolated mountain (1010 m) about 25 km east of Kluang. This distinctive mountain resembling a “crouching dinosaur” is also the most prominent landmark in the district of Kluang. The mountain is clad in dipterocarp lowland and sub-montane forest. There is a well-maintained Recreational Forest on the slope of the mountain, and the road sign even posts a waterfall there.

The Sg Yong falls consist of seven tiers. The falls go down a narrow gorge. Other than the relatively clean state of the river, it also boasted 7 large waterfalls and 20 smaller ones. However, as most of the larger waterfalls are found on a short stretch of the river and the waterfalls come in various heights, it is not easy to classify and count the actual number of large waterfalls encountered. But there are certainly many small ones about one or two meters high. It is not worth the effort to go in search of the other waterfalls after the first large waterfall.

Although the waterfalls in Sungei Yong are not very spectacular, the trek is still relatively clean and unspoilt.

This is a must-do for nature lovers seeking a refreshing, adventurous getaway with stunning, multi-tiered waterfalls (up to 14 tiers, with the 4th being the largest) and clean, unpolluted waters.

After a simple walk to a campsite, the actual hike up and down is 1.5 - 2 km. Though the distance is short, the trail involves a mixture of river crossing, forest trail and scampering over rocks with ropes. Extreme care has to be taken because the rocks are quite slippery. Good water shoes like Kampog Adidas must be worn. Gloves will be very useful. Our watchful guides will be around to assist whenever it is needed.

Suitable: *If you love waterfalls, are willing to do wet hiking of 1.5 - 2 km over wet/slippery trail with safety gear [is a MUST]. Not a long-distance or physically demanding hike. An adventurous spirit is a must.*

After reaching the main fall, we will have piping coffee, tea and fresh fruits served. While everyone soaks in the beneficial negative ions, cool dip or do water formation, etc.
