Jeram Kedah Waterfall is located next to a small Orang Asli village called Kg Chelogeh near Kg Jeram Kedah in the Ulu Beranang District of Lenggeng.
Once you turn off the main N34 road you are immediately surrounded by unspoiled countryside of forests and orchards with a few Orang Asli settlements.
The road is very narrow but you can get almost to the waterfall in a normal car without a four-wheel-drive.
You have to park your car before this bridge and walk for a couple of minutes to the waterfall.
There is only space for one car next to the bridge so if you come on a weekend you will have to find somewhere to park on the roadside.
Once across the bridge, the road becomes a mud track suitable only for walking or motorbikes. Take a small track off to the left. Just follow your ears and head in the direction of running water.
Fork left here (next to the rubbish pile) and head downhill towards the sound of water.
This photo was taken to show what the path is like, but a small brown snake was caught in the shot. From its markings, it could have been a Common Wolf Snake — completely harmless to humans.
The waterfall is a very pleasant and peaceful spot, having formed a soft sandy beach, trapped behind a concrete wall, which was part of an old water catchment area.
There is a section of broken pipe here and quite a lot of litter which rather spoils the natural ambiance.
But apart from that, there are a lot of shiny specks glinting in the sand and rocks but before you think of a gold rush, these are probably just pieces of mica or quartz.
The waterfall itself is small, just two or three metres high and you could, with caution, enjoy a vigorous power shower here if you want, bearing in mind that all waterfalls are dangerous.
If you are adventurous you can cross to the other side of the river and find a trail taking you to a second, upper fall which is actually more scenic.
