Terengganu is always thought of as a State with sandy beaches.
In fact it is a mountainous land with only a narrow strip of beach. Most areas inland are sparsely populated. Many waterfalls are yet to be identified.
Traditional waterfalls and their parks are now being spruced up and very well maintained. They are worth visiting.

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.
This is the sign you will see, when you come from K. Terengganu
The park is well maintained with many facilitiesThe 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!
The first cascade
Some of the cascades can be used as (bumpy) slides.When you follow the trail along the river, you reach the main fall of the park. It is number 4 of the list.
The nr 4 waterfall is very impressive
It is a tall fall with an estimated altitude of 80 meters
From this fall you can continue to the upper falls.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.

At the top of the main fall. Deep down the crowd of visitors is visible.
After the main fall there are some quiet stretches
