Ride, Hike, Splash: Chasing Rainbows in Lembing

#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.
