Description
Background:
Bukit Unyang is a rewarding jungle hike located within Taman Eko Rimba Kanching, Rawang, offering a unique blend of forest trekking and cascading waterfalls just a short drive from Kuala Lumpur. The trail delivers a refreshing escape from the city while still providing a satisfying physical challenge.
The hike passes through the iconic Kanching Waterfall, where multiple waterfall tiers unfold along the route. Lower sections feature well-structured steps, gradually giving way to more rugged jungle terrain as the trail ascends. Along the way, hikers can enjoy scenic viewpoints, lush dipterocarp forest, and occasional wildlife sightings.
Reaching the summit of Bukit Unyang rewards hikers with panoramic views over the surrounding forest and, on clear days, distant views of the Kuala Lumpur skyline. The return journey offers a chance to relax by the waterfalls, making this hike both adventurous and refreshing.
