     The PULAI waterfall

          is located in GUNUNG PULAI Park near     the town of Kulai. Over the weekends, there would be many locals flocking to it. This waterfall is very much commercialized with a road that leads to it. Fortunately, there are no charges to enter the waterfall. A trip to there is really a visit to a park rather then a trekking trip even though the park boasts a waterfall and a mountain.

                                   Most people who visited the park are to spend their weekend at the waterfall. As for Gunung Pulai , there is a tar road that leads all the way to the top. However, there is a radio station at the top of this mountain, which prevent any visitors from getting any higher. The main park area consists mainly of two levels, one near the bottom of the waterfall and another one at the top. There are also toilet facilities at the second carpark. At the bottom of the waterfall, there are several pools where visitors can take a dip in the cool water. By the left side of the main waterfall, there is a flight of stairs that lead from the bottom to the top of it. There is also a large campsite near the top of the waterfall.

                When my family and I visited Pulai Waterfall , we based our camp near the top of the waterfall. We bought along some food to enjoy a small picnic over there. When you're visiting Gunung Pulai make sure not to under estimate the wild animals there such as monkeys. They are not afraid of human kind and might snatch your food or bag pack. So watch out of them . If possible to be safe just have a wooden stick or tree branch with you while hiking up to Pulai for your own safety.

Why not a simple snap after the fun for memories.

             Because of the wild animal and for our own safety purpose, staying there overnight for camping would'nt be safe at all. However, camping overnight there can be a problem. A permit is required if anybody wants to stay overnight and the office at the second level have a ranger who would demand it from you. The permit can be obtained from the Central State Government Building behind the Post Office across the causeway according to a local visitor. There is also a gate at the base of the mountain, which opens from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
