Lata Meraung is a tall and rather wide single drop waterfall that cascades into a large pool. The pool at its deepest end is about chest deep with rocky pebbles and sandy riverbed. It is an impressive scene with easy access designated as an eco recreational forest under Pej. Hutan Daerah Jerantut care with free entrance. Despite its many positive traits, this waterfall is usually rather deserted possibly due to its remote far away from town location. Park maintenance is severely lacking with little being done to promote the place as a tourist attraction.
This waterfall is suitable for beginners to visit without guidance.

Lata Meraung Fall

Head to Jerantut as the nearest landmark town. Lata Meraung is accessible from Kg Lekuk village which can also be accessed from the south via Kuala Krau. From Kg Lekuk, visitors will travel along a single lane reasonably maintained tarred road that passes an orang asli village before finally arriving at the access junction here. The small junction on the right before 2 metal bridges is signposted but easy to miss. Inside, visitors will find an unmanned guard house with a small bridge and a clearing for parking vehicles. Proceed by foot from here on out.

Walk a short distance in where shelters and rest chairs are found. In the past there is a walking trail on the right side of the river but fallen trees have obstructed this path. Cross the cement bridge to the left side of the river and follow the trail to approach the waterfall instead.

Exploration Notes : It is unknown if there are other possible levels upriver. There could be smaller mid sized waterfalls deeper in but would require exploration to verify.
