The waterfall is fed by the Titi Hayun catchment area, which serves as a major watershed for the Yan district.
Geologically, the waterfall is situated within the Jerai Formation, one of the oldest rock strata in Peninsular Malaysia.
The water temperature remains relatively cool throughout the year due to the high-altitude forest cover and dense canopy shade.
Waterfall Seri Perigi is a prominent cascading waterfall located on the western slopes of Mount Jerai in Yan, Kedah. The site features a main cascade dropping approximately 100 meters, creating a distinct vertical visual profile against the jungle canopy. The waterfall flows into a series of tiered natural rock pools suitable for wading and swimming. The surrounding area is part of the Mount Jerai geological landscape, known for its dense tropical vegetation and secondary forest environment. A concrete staircase provides access from the base of the recreation area up to the mid-tier viewing platforms. The site is managed as a local forest recreation park with basic public facilities including gazebos and changing rooms.

Bring non-slip footwear as the rock surfaces near the pools are covered in algae and can be extremely slippery.
The humidity is very high; pack a waterproof bag for electronic devices and a change of clothes.
Check local weather reports for Yan before arrival, as heavy rainfall can cause sudden water level surges.
Do not attempt to climb the rock faces beside the main cascade as they are steep and prone to crumbling.
Maintain modest attire, especially when near village areas; dispose of all trash in provided bins to protect the local watershed.
