LATA TEMBAKAH

The Tembakah Waterfalls are probably the most impressive falls of Terengganu. The Hutan Lipur Lata Tembakah is clearly signposted and can be reached from Jertih. Coming from K. Terengganu a shortcut is possible by taking the T142 near Kg Jabi

The first waterfalls are actually more like cascades. They have nice, large pools, which make them perfect for family outings. Not surprisingly, this park can be crowded!

Our visit took place on a weekday, so at first we were surprised by the number of visitors. Then it became clear that nearby Kelantan was celebrating the sultan's holiday!

To reach the upper falls, there are two possibities. First, you can choose the jungle trail, which is clearly signposted. The other way is to scramble upwards at the right side of the main fall. Interesting but not easy.

The upper falls are also very impressive and as it takes some effort to reach them, they will be quiet even when there is a crowd.

LATA BELATAN

The Hutan Lipur Lata Belatan is clearly signposted and easily accessible from the Federal Road nr 3. It is a well maintained recreational park, very suitable for families with children.

In the dry season the water flow is very limited. In the rainy season the fall will be more impressive.

Above the fall, the trail continues in the jungle

AIR TERJUN SEKAYU

From the main road (nr 14) you take the road to Kuala Berang. Turn left, just before reaching this village. Clear signposting. After about 15 km you will reach Hutan Lipur Sekayu.

There are waterfalls and cascades along the 2 kilometers stretch of the river. A trail follows the river bank.

On weekdays the park is quiet, but during weekends it can be crowded

Following the trail you will encounter several waterfalls.

JERAM PASU

According to a plaque at the entrance this is the first waterfall in Kelantan that has been developed and provided with shelters and other amenities. And it certainly has been developed, a bit too much, maybe. 

The waterfall can be reached easily from road nr 3 between Pasir Puteh and Kota Baharu. Access is also possible from road nr 4 between Jerteh and Marchang. 
It is a popular destination for the people from Kota Baharu, so the fall can be crowded during weekends and school holidays.

Several swimming pools and slides have been constructed near the fall. They are popular with the local youth, but tend to obscure the fall itselfs.

LATA REK

Lata Rek is more a cascade than a waterfall. But a very powerful cascade over the full river width of about 100 meter. The impression of the site will depend strongly on the amount of water.

During our visit there was a lot of water and as a result the cascades were very impressive. It is possible to climb the cascades, but you have to be very careful. When you loose your balance and fall in the turbulent water, you will not survive it.

The cascades are a part of a Mini Hydro Power station (now derelict).

LATA BERANGIN

The road nr 8 from Gua Musang to Kota Baharu passes quite close to two beautiful falls. Lata Rek is clearly signposted, but for Lata Berangin you must know the way, as there is no signage at all.

After visiting Lata Rek you continue on the road D227 for about 11 km where you turn right at a junction. After another 8 km you reach a bridge. Just after the bridge turn right into a very narrow tar road. This road ends after 1.5 km at the waterfall.

At the end of the road you can park your car. From here the fall is already visible. It is a powerful one. At the bottom there is a big pool, where it is safe to bathe and swim. Even during the weekend it is not very crowded, because not many people know about this fall.

It is not possible to climb up to the top of the waterfall. In dry weather you can climb the rocks until half way, after that it becomes too steep. Be very careful,locals told us that accidents have happened here!

The interesting feature of this fall is that, although remote, it is easily accessible. Better go and visit this beautiful place, before it will be 'developed'.
