The sleepy town of Bentong is only about slightly over an hour’s drive from Kuala Lumpur and yet it has a lot to offer. From home-made ice-ream to durians and most notably, ginger, Bentong has several other hidden gems.
Check out the Chamang waterfalls
Breathtaking views of cascading Chamang waterfall in the sleepy little Chamang Village is an excellent site for picnic and other recreational activities. Beautifully located at the end of Bentong’s Jalan Loke Yew, the site is popular among families within the vicinity and often crowded with day-trippers especially during the weekend.
Be enthralled by the waters
Commonly known as ‘lover’s falls’, you’ll be mesmerized by the incredible beauty of a series of cascades. Reputed as one of the most magnificent picnic spots in the country, this lovely Chamang Waterfall is located right next to Kuantan-Kuala Lumpur Karak Highway.
Sungai Pandan Waterfalls
For those who are looking for more than just an excellent picnic site, head over to the exquisite Sungai Pandan Waterfalls located about 25 kilometres further away from Kuantan but no worries because the waterfall is accessible by road. Unlike Chamang Waterfall that offers only an excellent site for picnic and bathing, Sungai Pandan Waterfall spread over 11 hectares of wilderness offers a series of activities.
The flowing large pool from the cascading rapids is perfect for visitors to relax under the sunny afternoon. And not to forget the cool shades that provide an equally good spot for picnic. As mentioned earlier, the breathtaking Sungai Pandan Waterfall offers more than just picnic sites because day-trippers and visitors can join other leisure pursuits such as fishing, trekking, swimming, camping, abseiling and bird watching.
