ABOUT

Chiling Waterfall is one of the most spectacular and impressive waterfalls in Selangor. To get there you need to walk for about an hour and wade across the Chiling River five times so you need to have a sense of adventure and not mind getting wet. When you finally reach the waterfall (actually three falls) it is well worth the effort. Chiling Waterfall is located in a reserve called the Sungai Chiling Fish Sanctuary, a fisheries research project run by the Selangor State Fisheries Department .It is the Selangor State Fisheries Department’s responsibility to manage the fish sanctuary. The purpose of the sanctuary is to protect a species of fish called mahseer (ikan kelah in Malay). Also, the surrounding forest is a gazetted permanent forest reserve.The river crossings bring the most fun as the water stays chilly all the time, even during the afternoon. On top of that, there are always large shoals of fish in the water. Watching them pouncing on fish feed will double the excitement. Crossing the river is only challenging if you encounter strong water currents.
