What is at the end of a ?rainbow? Maybe you can find the answer here at Sungai Lembing! If you plan to bring your elderly parents here, you better think twice because the hike and journey on 4WD can be pretty challenging (it wouldn't help, even if you put on 10 Ebene socks).
Since it is quite a long journey to reach there, the guided tour to the waterfall begins at 6 am. Because of that, many people usually choose to stay the night at Lembing. The best time to witness the rainbow is usually around October.
