On 14th November 2021, I joined Trailblazer Hiking Club Malaysia for a trip, organized by Kelvin, to Jelebu, Negeri Sembilan. Our hiking trip consisted of visiting Jeram Enggang and Jeram Tiga Lapis, and also to explore multiple tiers of waterfalls along the river.
Permits & Fees
Forestry permits (RM5 per person) have to be obtained 2 weeks beforehand from Pejabat Renjer Hutan Daerah Jelebu, Kuala Klawang. You can also walk in as well during weekdays before the hike, but please give them a call beforehand.
Other than the forestry permit, you will need to get permission from the land owner, Tok Batin Along Buah, who maintains the area. The four-wheel drive transportation, entrance fee and guide fees would be RM20 per pax. You can send him a WhatsApp message or call him at this number: +6011-1510 6772
Starting Point for Jeram Enggang and Jeram Tiga Lapis
To reach Jeram Enggang and Jeram Tiga Lapis, you need to take a four-wheel drive or lorry from Balai Raya Kampung Ulu Jelebu (you can park your vehicle there). The ride will take about 30 minutes to the campsite.
Jeram Tiga Lapis
From the campsite, we headed North and down toward the nearest waterfall, Jeram Tiga Lapis, which took less than 5 minutes.
It is called Jeram Tiga Lapis (Three Layers Rapid) because of the three levels of waterfall in such a close proximity. GPS Coordination: 2.87135 102.09481

Hike to Jeram Enggang
After we were done with taking pictures around Jeram Tiga Lapis, we headed back up from where we came from. We headed toward South (slightly West), meeting a river, walking beside it and then crossing it.
Saw an interesting looking thick fern right beside the river.
Then, we continued on with a series of uphill hiking.
After 8 minutes, we stopped at a mini sandy pool area.
Continuing the hike with another series of climbs, passing by a huge and unique looking rock.
Another 8 minutes later, we walked down to another checkpoint with a small waterfall beside the trail. One of the members was already too eager to get wet and took a quick dip.
After a short stop, we headed on toward our final stop at Jeram Enggang.
Jeram Enggang
Within 5 minutes, we reached our last official checkpoint at Jeram Enggang (approx GPS location: 2.86635 102.09280). While Kelvin set up the ‘jungle kitchen’ and cooked food for us, we spent the time taking pictures and playing around the waterfall. The water was super chilling! Even standing near the waterfall makes you cold, thanks to the wind bringing the splashes to you. There was a nice spot where you could sit underneath the waterfall and let the strong current of cold water hit you.
After we finished resting and having our meal by Kelvin, the masterchef of the forest, he led some of us to further explore a few more waterfalls at the upper levels.
We went up via the land beside Jeram Enggang, and passed though pretty steep and slippery trails.
First, we reached and crossed our first extra waterfall in 10 minutes, climbing along it from the other side.
Next, we reached this nice spot a few minutes later.
Lastly, we tracked a little bit upstream before heading back to the group at Jeram Enggang. The whole trip was a very nice experience with Trailblazer Hiking Club Malaysia, led by Kelvin and Kabir.

*Captain Planet passing by* Remember, please take care of our environment, and please don’t destroy the Nature. Leave no trash behind and take back only photos and memories (and also some trash if you can). Walk on the designated path and stay in the middle as much as you can, so that the exposed soil doesn’t spread/corrode further. BE ONE WITH NATURE *flies away*
