Kota Tinggi Waterfalls, Nature park near Kota Tinggi, Malaysia
Kota Tinggi Waterfalls is a nature park featuring cascading falls set within a rainforest landscape near Gunung Muntahak mountain in Johor state. The area includes multiple tiers of water flow and engineered pools connected by pathways and viewing platforms.
The site was originally a natural forest area and was transformed into a regulated park during the 1980s. This development added safety features, pathways, and visitor facilities to accommodate public access.
Local families visit the falls regularly on weekends and holidays to swim and spend time together in the natural setting. The place serves as a gathering point where people connect with nature and each other away from daily routines.
The pathways are generally well maintained, though some sections can become slippery after rain. Sturdy footwear is recommended, and visitors should stick to marked trails.
The engineered pools were created by damming sections of the stream, allowing swimmers to enjoy controlled water environments. This blend of natural falls and designed pools makes the site particularly suited for families with young children.
