Overview

Lata Berangin is a notable multi-tiered waterfall located within the forest reserves of Kuala Krai, Kelantan. The site features a series of cascades that descend into a clear, rocky pool suitable for swimming. It serves as a popular destination for picnicking and recreational activities among local residents. The surrounding tropical forest provides natural canopy cover, though humidity remains high throughout the year. The primary waterfall drop is approximately 120 meters high, making it one of the taller falls in the region. Facilities provided at the base include basic public toilets, changing rooms, and concrete platforms for social gatherings.

Insider tips

Bring non-slip water shoes as the river stones can become extremely slick when wet.

Pack insect repellent, as the humid environment near the base of the falls is a breeding ground for mosquitoes.

Store all valuables in waterproof dry bags if you intend to swim.

What to avoid

Do not attempt to climb the upper tiers of the waterfall without local guides or proper safety equipment due to steep, uneven rock faces.

Etiquette

Maintain modest attire consistent with local cultural norms; avoid revealing swimwear when outside the immediate water area.
