The
Very popular Lata Bayu
This
is a very old recreation area and also a renowned spot in the
northernmost part of the country. The famous Baling area, a town
where meetings with the then Communist insurgents were held!
Some
3 kilometers out of town and a branch road to north Kedah, places
like Sik, Weng etc. On the way [15 kilometers later] in the
village of Assam Java, good and prominent signage directs you to
3 kilometers Park road!
The Waterfall is a
finale to series of rapids ending up with a cascades.
Total height of the continuous slide is about 30 meters
high. A
beautiful pathway follows the left bank all the way until
a level plain on top of the rapids.
There is only one
small vertical fall of 2 meters at the end of this
stretch.

after transition from rapids to cascades. This is good 6
meters drop to start the waterfall

Bottom At the base of the
waterfall, a fair size pool collects the water.
Children capitalizing on the smooth rock surfaces to enjoy the
slide and dropping into a pool.

The
local authority had landscape the park in a very
impressive manner. This is one of the very well managed
Park of Kedah. Pool with fair depth and clear flowing
water.

Having
visited the Park, it is difficult to understand how the Park
acquired its reputation as a fantastic weekend destination.
