Lata Kinjang Falls

About

Lata Kinjang Falls is one of Malaysia’s tallest waterfalls at 2,788 feet (850 m). It is also among Malaysia’s most visible waterfalls, featured prominently as a white stripe down the dark green mountainside when drivers pass by on the North-South Expressway. Although easily visible from the highway, it is far less accessible than most points of interest. The waterfall is located off of winding jungle roads. Wooden bridges and stairways lead up the rocky paths for hikers to have a closer view of the cascading water; however, for safety reasons, it’s essential to exercise caution as the rocks can be slippery. Planning a hike or swim during the rainy season is not recommended due to possible landslides on the trails, but the waterfall is more powerful during this period. As a note to foreign guests, there is a small parking and entrance fee, and the food stalls may not be open during Islam’s fasting days.
