Lata Bukit Hijau

To reach this site, the visitor will have to negotiate a confusing network of estate roads. The 4-kilometre journey is best travelled with 4-wheel drive vehicles. Passing through cocoa plantations and rubber estates, visitors will enter the Gunung Inas Forest Reserve, just 10 kilometres from Malau town. The waterfalls and rapids have natural pools of crystal-clear mountain-spring water that are both inviting and invigorating!
Lata Assam Jawa

Commonly called Lata Sungai Pegang by local residents, Lata Assam Jawa is a popular and well-known scenic spot. Located within the Telui Forest Reserve near Kampung Assam Jawa, about 19 kilometres from Baling, the falls cascade down in several steps with fall feights of between 1 and 6 metres. Baling itself is a popular stopover for those travelling on the East-West Highway, and the waterfalls are directly accessible from the Highway by road.
