The Sungei Dua is a small river coming from the main range. A biking trail of about 20 km is supposed to lead to a waterfall. A real expedition. But the river has other falls, nearer to the mainroad and relatively unknown. To find the access road is complicated, see link above for details

The trail head is a bit complicated to find, as it is an unmarked exit of the Karak highway. When you see this sign, you are on the right track.

After a few km you pass a small Orang Asli village. The road can be muddy and slippery, in which case a 4WD is needed

Take the left turn at this junction and you are almost there. The trail goes down very steeply, take care.

When we asked the locals about the name of the fall, they only could tell us the name of the river. We decided to name the fall Lata Khong in honour of the founder of this website.

The trail ends at the waterfall. The pool can be crossed to reach a camp site

The waterfall is impressive and very scenic. Must be powerful in the rainy season.

One of the other waterfalls, just a short distance upstream. There are more, but they are difficult to reach.
