The number of visitors coming to this place has never lessen as there are people coming everyday. The main attraction is the natural hot spring which is believed to be able to cure diseases while maintaining body freshness.

The more adventurous go abseiling, trek along jungle paths and go caving. Fishing in the river and camping are popular activities. The rocks are one of the attractions. Under a 20 m high rock called Batu Bahtera (Ship Rock) is a 15 m “secret” passage. Crawl under the rock and you’ll get to the other side. Continue walking another 20 minutes and you’ll come to Sungai Misteri. The river is thus named as it disappears into a large hole near Sungai Ping. Nearby is a scenic spot, Lata Berangin, where water falls majestically down a 50 m rocky surface into a pond. Other places of interest include Batu Katak (Frog Rock), Gua Kelawar and Kolam Puteri.
