Kelantan is isolated from the western states and Terenggannu by high mountains.
The land is mountainous on the west and south. There is a flat alluvial plain created by the Kelantan River along which most major towns are located. There are many waterfalls in this mountainous area. Many of them still wait for a descriptionLata 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.
There are more falls in the region. This one can be spotted from road D226
The narrow road just after the bridge leads to the fall
You can park your car where the road ends

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.
The fall plunges down in a huge pool
The flow of water is impressive
Tiny humans in powerful nature
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!
This is as far as we could climb up
A view down to the pool at the bottom
A refreshing shower
Safe bathing for the whole family
