Lata Berangin waterfall is located roughly 20 km southeast of the nearest town, Kuala Krai, and is less famous compared to its sister waterfall downstream, Lata Rek. Although the are almost no signages to Lata Berangin, the road leads directly to the carpark and after that the waterfall is already within sight. There is no hiking required to reach the waterfall, so it is safe to bring your kids along too.
At the base of the waterfall, there is a huge pool where you can swim. The flow of the water through the waterfall is powerful and it feels relaxing to stand underneath the surging waters. Due to it’s remoteness, Lata Berangin doesn’t see many visitors, even during weekends. Therefore, you are free to enjoy the fresh air and sounds of flowing water as well as the beauty of the rainforest all without a big crowd.

Safety tips
Safety tips
- While the overall depth along the waterfall pools are shallow, there are some deep spots. Keep small children by your side at all time and make sure they don't wander off on their own.
- Always go with a minimum of two people to this area as it doesn’t receive many visitors, even on weekends.
- Be careful when climbing up the waterfall. After the halfway point, the terrain becomes very steep and the combination of slippery rocks makes it quite unsafe!
- The flow of water is strong but not dangerous. If it is raining or has rained prior to your arrival, take extra steps to be careful as the flow might be too powerful for safe swimming.

- The best time to visit here and have a picnic is during the morning from around 10am and above. Avoid staying nearby the waterfall till late as the water level might rise during the evening.
- Bring all the food, toiletries and necessary items you need for your picnic with you as there are no shops in close proximity to the waterfall carpark. You can get supplies in nearby Kuala Krai town if you need to.
