Approximately 10 kilometers north of Rawang is this ‘Cowboy’ town Serendah, where local travelers stop for their meals and breaks. This is a small local attraction for the locals to go to after a long week of work (besides going for a round or two at some old golf courses).
From Jalan Kuching in KL, just head North to Rawang, you will have to look for Simpang Sungai Choh and thereafter look for direction to Serendah. At Serendah town on the left you will find a small police station and little distance to the north is a right turn into the housing area of Kampung Dato' Harun.
Follow this residential road and turn to your left where the surfaced road ends and a square signboard that reads 'Pusat Serenti Serendah'.
It's a good exposure to the kampung style break for your kids to learn to rough it out. You will see lots of kids soaking themselves at various part of the waterfall, picnicking under the sunny sky and crowding out with the rest of the locals.
Do not expect 1st class amenities besides enjoying the natural waterfall. If you can't stand seeing your kids roughing it out, this place is not for you. You can actually walk behind the waterfall and it's naturally awesome experience for your kids. The waterfall is pretty safe but forceful.
Bring along your own portable chairs in case they run out of sitting area and have your own food ready if you are not used to kampung style vendors.
If you are not the type to appreciate the little things in life and mingling with local folks, then head to Sunway lagoon or Genting Highland for your pampered break. The evening view nearby can be pretty breathtaking...natural and serene (minus internet and internet cafe). You might want to go in a bigger group and put up a night at Sekeping Serendah retreat.
On the way back to KL, you can stop by for your dinner at any of the local restaurants like this one below (tho I didn't stop by).
