Most of the people passing by "Sempah Tunnel" using Karak Highway, but do you know there is another tunnel called "Twin Tunnel" underneath Karak Highway and leading to a waterfall called Pisang Waterfall. It is a very wonderful and beautiful waterfall. It just need 30 minutes drive from KL and accessible from old Gombak - Bentong road.

The trail difficulty is easy and the hike will take approximately 2 hours to and back via river and jungle trails to reach the waterfall.

Highlights:

- Marvellous, cooling and scary big tunnel passing experince. You can either wading through the water or walking on the side way.
- Adventurous but easy trail including crossing Gombak River, muddy land and jungle treking.
- Awesome waterfall with greenish rock.
- Crystal clear water.

Getting There and Away:

Two stage to the destination-

- Pump House
Follow staright and pass by Batu Caves to Sri Gombak, turn in Karak Highway and turn left to UIA Gombak before the Karak Tol. You will reach the first traffic light and turn left. You will passby a Gombak School. Turn right when you reach another traffic light. Go straight along Jalan Gombak (Batu 12, Gombak). You will see a Jungle Lodge Alang Sedayu signboard at your left. Follow the signboard. You will come to a narrow road which goes up to a pump station. Park your car on the side and walk toward a pump house.

I heard it is advisable to check the weather before going to this place. This is because the trail must pass by the river and it will difficult for you to continue the journey when there is heavy rain.

You are right sampoerna ... for a hiker only, it will be much much more funny if heavy rain the water will up to level 2. But for photo kaki like us, have to take care of our gear. If there is photo outing for this place i will join again, because it is really a leisure place for photo shooting.

Count me in. Maybe you want to start a thread for the trip. Maybe next weekend is good.
