Kubah National Park refers to it simply as “The Waterfall”. Google maps lists it as Gunung Serapi Waterfall. Waterfalls of Malaysia dubs it Kubah Falls. Though it’s part of Sungai Rayu (Rayu River), calling it Rayu Waterfall risks confusing it with rapids of the same name further downstream. Whatever name you identify it by, this under-rated gem should be called upon when in Kuching.

Seri Makhota Waterfall
Standing alone at the base of the Seri Makhota waterfall in Rompin State Park, I wondered what eyes were on me. Could Tok Belang Besar, a forest spirit of Jakun mythology that takes the form of a tiger be watching me from a rocky perch high above the falls?
Kesyar Falls hike
A closely guarded secret known only to guests of Pamplemosses Farm and its neighbours, Kesyar Falls is a quick and easy hike with a wonderful waterfall payoff.
Air Terjun Sungai Tebing Tinggi
Malaysia has the best roadside attractions. Yes, there are the grotesque concrete tributes to crops and animals (Bentong’s durian, Cameron Highlands’ strawberries and Sandakan’s gesturing crocodile). But the country is also blessed with natural wonders you should pull the breaks for. Air Terjun Sungai Tebing Tinggi on the outskirts of Lenggong is one of them.
Lata Puteh hike
When it comes to waterfalls, Perak slays. Thank its mountainous landscape for that. The Titiwangsa, Kledang and Bintang ranges are the source of countless watery fascinations. But most pale in comparison to the magnificent Lata Puteh.
Lata Gapi hike
Lata Gapi is a small act of defiance in the face of ongoing forest development and human disregard.
Lata Tengkoh Penyell hike
Moneyed up developers may own the country’s most expensive slice of real estate, but Malaysia’s most beautiful piece of land belongs to the Temiar of Kampung Pendeq in Perak.
Air Terjun Perangin Lalang hike
Things don’t always work out: the Microsoft Zune, Lisa Bonet and Jason Momoa, and, for a handful of Trailblazers, Perangin Lalang Waterfall.
Tasik Puteri Waterfall @ Bukit Besi
The next time someone tells you “nothing good comes easy”, tell them Tasik Puteri.
Lata Sinju hike
We love convenience. Except when it comes to waterfalls.
