Iskandar waterfall is one of the finer and more impressive examples of nature that is easily accessible to most people. Lying approximately midway between Tapah and Cameron Highlands, this multi-tiered fall, has pools at the base of each tier.
Many visitors take the opportunity to go for a short dip in the cool water of these pools, which have their origins up in the higher reaches of the surrounding highlands. Nature lovers can go slightly off the beaten track and get to enjoy the rich flora and fauna.
A row of stalls serving drinks and snacks have been set up nearby for the convenience of the people who stop to enjoy the sight of Iskandar waterfall.
