If you are starting out from Ipoh. At the midriff of Peninsula Malaysia, the Main Range is fairly inland. Moisture flowing from the Indian Ocean would have been "hijacked" and down loaded to the insolated hills near Bidor and Kuala Kangsar. There are some notable Waterfalls' destination like Lata Kinjang in Tapah.

Next, I will turn on the chances of an adventurous or family outing originating from Kuala Lumpur. There are plenty of destinations within the perimeter of an hour and half drive. The principal water shed areas are the valleys in Ulu Langat and that of Pertak - the latter is source of the Selangor River. Of the 2, Ulu langat is a very wet area, the terrain is that of with rocky hills. This is the land for picnic and some serious climbing. Pertak - less rocky hills but the river larger and Waterfalls, taller.

Turning the attention away from Selangor State, if you lucky enough to be residents of the Klang Valley, then you must have heard of the mysterious and adventure Land - Pahang. A state with such a large land mass and really has plenty to offer -if you know where to head for.

In Pahang, the Main Range is quite far inland from the South China Seas. With more moisture coming in from Straits of Malacca, the eastern slopes are more often than not, the leeward side. They do not receive that much of rainfall when compared to the slopes in Fraser Hills or Ulu Langat. So, you need not look for Waterfalls at the Main range on Pahang side. Then, there are few stand alone mountains and hills -namely the Benum Mountain near Raub and the Berkelah Mountains in Gambang. These highlands tap the moisture coming in from the South China Seas and resulting in highly visible and famed waterfalls.

Then towards the southern edge of the Main Range, the hills there are low enough for moisture to be carried over to the eastern slope. Here in Pahang side are few hidden waterfalls. The list for Selangor & Pahang look like this.

Kuala Lumpur is small circular state on the plain. In fact this so-called plain is Klang Valley. At its fringes near the Klang Gate area [already inside the a narrow strip of Selangor territory] are the massive cliffs of the Quartz Ridge. This vicinity is so urbanized that even though you enter the jungles from Melawati, you would hardly feel that you left the city. Here, hidden among the cliffs and jungle are waterfalls waiting for the gung-ho and adventurous spirit.

Again as I have written earlier, the eastern slope of high mountains of the Main Range are too far from the seas. Moreover moisture from the South China sea is seasonal. There are far less noticeable waterfalls in the East Coast when compared to the large number of picnic areas popularized in the west coast state. But I must also mention that though few Waterfalls seen here on the East Coast, are the most impressive. The draw back for visitors who wish to check them out,  is the great distance to be traveled to be able to enjoy these  magnificent sights of nature.
