Templer's Park

Templer's Park was indeed an exciting destination. Situated just after the fringes of Kuala Lumpur town, it was a sanctuary in the tropical jungle. Legends had it that there was a natural swimming pool inside the jungle, where few had ventured. The real Templer's Park that they knew was a small picnic area beside the river where the road passed by.To many local residents borne during the time of the British administration.

There was the state of the art with 7 waterfalls - Kanching Recreational Park. More dramatic and larger space for the adventurous.Nevertheless, this area continued to attract crowds over the weekend. The space on the opposite bank of the river is now Scout Jamboree Camp. Latest - the Jamboree Camp is now the National Service Training Camp.

Where does one waterfall end and the next one start?
This can be a bit confusing here, because there are many falls, covering a total height difference of about 200 meters.
The first fall is a romantic and secluded one.
But not very suitable for bathing.
Near the second fall an attempt has been made to construct a kind of swimming pool.

The next fall, the Kapor Fall, could be appropriately called THE Kanching Fall. There are dressing rooms here, toilets and shelters.
Take care when you leave your belongings here and go for a relaxing swim, because there are many curious monkeys around!

You have to climb up steep slopes, there are trails on both sides of the stream, the left trail is easier but not as interesting as the one on the right side.
The next fall has no swimming pool, but a perfect shower!

The next fall is a big one. Can you still call this a fall or is it just the stream going down steeply for about 60 meters?
Take care, this place is not suitable for swimming anymore, although some trees manage to survive in these adverse conditions.

At the top of waterfall nr 6, the landscape changes suddenly. Climbing out of the valley, for the first time you have a clear view of the opposite site, far away. There is one last waterfall, a jewel, watch the colours of the rocks here!
Rest, enjoy and relax.
If you keep going on(no trail, just follow the river bed) you will find no more falls, but quiet, pristine jungle. Where does it end? Try to find out for yourself!
