🌿 Kuala Krai’s Best-Kept Secret – A Scenic, Family-Friendly Waterfall
This picturesque cascade is a hidden gem, offering a beautiful, safe, and relaxing waterfall experience. It’s the first sand-laden freshwater waterfall I’ve come across - unclear if the sand was naturally formed or added, but it creates a stunning effect.
The sand base layer makes the water crystal clear, highlighting its emerald green glow at the deeper end when the afternoon sun hits. It also provides a soft, safe surface for walking in the pool, making it easy to reach the lower cascade, where you can lie on the rocks and let the water splash over you.
Considering the scenery, safety, and family-friendly setting, this is a highly recommended spot for a relaxing morning or afternoon with kids - definitely worth a visit! 🌊✨
🐟 Bonus Surprise: Nature’s Spa! A pleasant surprise to find Garra rufa fish (doctor fish) inhabiting the deeper end near the lower cascade. Don’t panic if you feel little creatures nibbling your skin - it’s just a natural fish spa!
💰 Fees RM2 per person RM2 per car Official ticket provided (transparent and fair pricing)

Read moreThe view is very nice. But first you need to hike to get to this place since the asphalt road are notmim good condition due to lack of supervision and maintenance.
