In the footsteps of the government’s decision to allow the resumption of domestic tourism from 10 June 2020, and theme parks and water parks from 1 July 2020, Tourism Selangor has announced that the rainforest attractions of Taman Eko Rimba Kanching and Chongkak Park & Resort are now back in operation.

These destinations, perfect for some jungle trekking and a refreshing dip in river water, will receive visitors from today, 6 July 2020!

Breath-taking Nature
Located to the north of the capital near Rawang, Taman Eko Rimba Kanching is the home of the spectacular Kanching Falls – a seven-tier cascade that is over 200m tall! A bit of hiking through the rainforest is required to enjoy the full majesty of the falls, but they are definitely worth the slog.

A resort that rubs shoulders with lush jungles and orchards and features the famous Sungai Congkak, Chongkak Park & Resort is not a small fry in the realm of Selangor ecotourism. It lies in the district of Hulu Langat to the northeast of Kuala Lumpur, and is a consummate place to get close to nature!
