About Lata Tembakah
The Lata Tembakah Recreational Forest, 118 km north of Kuala Terengganu is a tourist destination which holds the promise of a peaceful encounter with nature at its most serene. Lata Tembakah is a 7-tiered thunderous waterfall that flows majestically through the rainforest.
Visitors could climb to the highest cascading water for a splendid sight. Ample parking spaces, food stalls, wooden walkways, jungle treks, gazebos, chalets and camp grounds are some of the facilities provided.
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 facilities
A timetable gives time and distance to the falls, but it is not very accurate
The 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 trees along the trail are marked with their names.

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.
