Lata Iskandar



Everbody who's been to Cameron Highlands would know about this waterfalls.  Along the old road from Cameron Highlands to Tapah, the almost vertical falls can be seen from the road.  


Small pool.. children can play, but must be attended by adults... The smaller pool at the background is much shallower.  Its nice for showers, but definitely not for swimming and for the adventurous... u can 'terjun tiruk' in this pool, the deepest point is probably 5-6 feet... 


Cemented path upstream.. there are about 2 more tiers.  From this photo, you can see that there isn't much parking space and there are a few stalls selling snacks, simple hot meals and fruits.  During this visit, there were some upgrading works going on and I'm not sure if there was any toilet or changing huts nearby..


Blocked by fallen tree.. this was about a year and a half ago.. maybe they've cleared the path..


Deep... and crystal clear. Water is super cold and refreshing.  There's not much room for picnic either.  I don't think most people come here to have a picnic or BBQs, they just want to have a short dip in the freezing mountain water..


I like this waterfalls.  Its quiet and the kids loved the clear water and pool.  A bit too deep for Awan, but nowdays we always bring our life-jackets, just to be on the safer sides.  Maybe if I get the chance to go to CH again, I'd stop by this scenic waterfalls and next time, I'll trek a bit further up to the 3rd tier :)
