[2025 Ulu Kuantan Attraction] Travel Guide for Lembing Rainbow Waterfall (Updated Jul)

#naturalwonders #100waysoftravel Lembing Rainbow Waterfall is a natural wonder that should be on every nature lover’s bucket list. The waterfall’s unique charm lies in the vibrant rainbow that appears when sunlight hits the cascading water just right. The journey to the waterfall is an adventure in itself, with a scenic 4x4 ride through lush forests and a short hike that leads you to the magical spot. The sight of the rainbow arching over the powerful waterfall is truly mesmerizing, creating a picture-perfect moment. It’s an experience that combines the beauty of nature with a touch of magic, making it a must-visit destination for those looking to explore Malaysia’s natural treasures.

Deep within the Pahang rainforest, lies a beautiful hidden waterfall that shines a rainbow daily😊🌈 Fit for hikers of all levels, this is definitely not a spot to miss on your next trip to Pahang. You can easily book this experience at RM60 at your respective hotels in Sungai Lembing (I’d highly recommend staying at least (1) night before as the hike begins around 5am). You’d be picked up directly by your tour guide (a 4WD is needed) from your hotel & the adventure deep into the rainforest begins! The cool wind & beautiful nature will really keep you awake😍. Ps. the rainbow appears faint in the pic above due to the change in weather of the period I went. However, on much sunnier days, the refraction appears a lot stronger!

#summervacay #July2025 #waterfall #beautiful_malaysia The journey to Rainbow Waterfall in Sungai Lembing begins before sunrise—and it’s not for the faint-hearted. At 5:30 a.m., your 4X4 ride roars into the rainforest, bouncing wildly through muddy tracks as mist lingers above the canopy. It’s wild, it’s shaky, and yes—it’s exhilarating. The 1.2km jungle trail to the waterfall takes roughly 45 minutes, crossing rivers and rocky slopes. Even for non-hikers, it’s doable with a good guide and rented water shoes. I brought mine for RM10 from city —best decision ever. Arrive early and you might witness the waterfall lit by morning sun, casting a perfect rainbow through the mist. November to February is peak season for this spectacle, but even during late June, nature did not disappoint.

#waterfalls #100waysoftravel The waterfall is amazing, and there is a change to see a rainbow formed on the waterfall, when the weather is good. The water is cool and the air is refreshing and soothing. Way to the waterfall is a hiking trail, it takes about half an hour to reach the waterfall from the starting point for amateur hiker. The last part of the trail is quite challenging as it is a way that needs to walk through stones in the water stream and the stone is quite slippery. Nevertheless, there are ropes all along the way for you to grab and assist you in your hiking. Besides that, a pair of good shoes is recommended to walk through the trail. If you have no hiking shoes, there is rubber shoes renting at price of RM3 for those who does not have a suitable gear to walk.
