Lata Puteh is an epic waterfall in Perak, just by the side of the A6 road in Batu Kurau. Lata Puteh used to be known as the 3rd tallest waterfall in South East Asia, but had the claim removed due to factual inaccuracy. Still, it is one of the most impressive waterfalls I have visited! The trail to reach the waterfall was short and steep.
Starting Point & Trail
The trail passes by this small water processing building(?).
The trail becomes very steep after that. Heart-pumping but not too challenging as there were many nice footholds from the rocks and tree roots, so it wasn’t a too slippery trail.
Keep climbing all the way up until you reach the opening with the majestic view of the waterfall.

Look at the waterfall, this is totally worth the trip!
Humans in photos for scale.
Not only is the view excellent, but this waterfall provides a massive shower at some spots, where the huge splashes of fresh water fell upon us. The cascades and rocks break the momentum of the water flow, at the same time creating a wider splash of ‘rainfall shower’.
Occasional bursts of big gush of water from the top end, giving surprise big splashes at anyone at the bottom.

Hi there any permit needed?
And roughly how long is the hike duration to reach the waterfall?
Hi Michelle, so far no permit required. The waterfall can be reached within 20 minutes, short but steep so do it carefully.
Please take note that the place is being temporarily closed for assessment from 24 June 2023 till further notice, after two hikers slipped and sprained their ankles on the way down.
