Lata Medang Waterfall

5 hours

Moderate

Hidden deep in the forest near Kuala Kubu Bharu, Lata Medang is a beautiful multi-tier waterfall known for its lush jungle setting and refreshing pools.

The trail begins at Kampung Pertak, near the Kuala Kubu Bharu dam, and winds through tropical rainforest with several river crossings. With moderate elevation gain that offers a good balance of challenge and reward.

At the end of the trail lies a stunning 20-metre waterfall cascading into natural pools, perfect for a dip when water levels are safe. The falls are less crowded than popular spots like Sungai Chiling, making it a serene escape for nature lovers.

Do expect some leeches, especially in wetter sections of the trail, and be cautious on slippery rocks near the water.
