The best waterfalls in Rawang

Kanching is in Rawang, less than an hour from Kuala Lumpur, and I still find that a bit hard to believe. You walk in, and within a few minutes the city just stops. Trees, a stream, that's it.

We turned up at 10am the first time, which was dumb. No parking. We sat around waiting for a space like everyone else on a weekend. Entry was RM5 each and RM5 for the car, at least when I went, so have some cash on you.

There are seven levels of falls, one above the other, and you pick how far you're willing to go. The bottom three are so easy that people just set up a picnic next to the water and stay there. Level four is where the stairs start, and that's where I started puffing. By five and six you can finally see the waterfall properly, so out came the phone.
