Chiling Falls

Chiling Falls is a three-tiered forest waterfall on the Sungai Chiling, a tributary of the Sungai Selangor, near Kuala Kubu Bharu in Hulu Selangor, Selangor. Located within Selangor State Park and managed by the Selangor Forestry Department, it is reached via a jungle trail with multiple river crossings. Notable for its tall vertical main fall, clear pools and protected rainforest setting, it is a popular day-trek destination and part of the Sungai Chiling Fish Sanctuary.

Visitors can expect a guided or self-guided jungle trek of about 1 to 1.5 hours each way from the Sungai Chiling Fish Sanctuary entrance to the falls, involving six river crossings wading through knee to waist-deep water. The trail passes through lowland dipterocarp forest along the Chiling River to three successive falls, culminating in a tall vertical cascade with a large pool at its base. Areas for wading, swimming, photography and picnicking are available at the lower and main falls, surrounded by dense forest and natural rock formations.

Located within the Selangor State Park gazetted in 2007 to protect the Selangor River water catchment and biodiversity. The Sungai Chiling area has been managed by the Selangor Forestry Department as a protected fish sanctuary for the Malaysian mahseer (kelah) and as an important watershed forest reserve.
