Lata Iskandar

Lata Iskandar is a stunning natural waterfall located in Perak, Malaysia, offering a tranquil escape into nature. The falls cascade gracefully over multiple levels, creating a serene and picturesque landscape. Visitors can easily access the site via a short walk, making it family-friendly. The surrounding area is lush with greenery, providing a perfect spot for picnics or photography. While the water can be chilly, it's refreshing for a quick dip. The site is well-maintained, but it can get crowded on weekends, so visiting early is recommended for a peaceful experience.

A Scenic Stop Worth Making On our journey down from Cameron Highlands via the Tapah route, we decided to stop by Lata Iskandar, and it proved to be a lovely little stop. The time you spend here really depends on what you’re after. If it’s just for a few photos and to enjoy the view, 15 to 30 minutes will suffice. However, if you’re planning to dip your feet in or explore a little more, you could easily stay longer. There is no entrance fee required for now. Parking can be a bit of a challenge, especially during peak times, as there’s no designated parking area; just roadside spots. Do be careful when stopping because the roads are generally narrower. One of the charms of this location is the abundance of local stalls lining the road. Many of the items sold are handmade, and it’s a good opportunity to browse for souvenirs or local snacks. Public toilets are also available at some of these stalls, generally charging RM1 per use. The waterfall itself is quite stunning and definitely worth a visit, even if it’s just for a short toilet break and to take in the scenery. Highly recommended if you’re using the Tapah route down from Cameron Highlands.

A nice waterfall stop along the way from Cameron Highlands to KL. I don't think you can take a dip here as I didn't see anyone doing that. You can go up to the top but no special views from there. No tickets needed as it's open to the public.

This waterfall was very beautiful and with many green trees around. The only downside is that the road side lack of Parking lot. Many shop lots location were too near the Roadside ! Which were very dangerous for customers shopping here. Hopefully the government can help to improve these situation. The water here is very very cold, you can only soak your legs here

Lata Iskandar waterfall has its own uniqueness. It is a beautiful area. You definitely shouldn't miss stopping by and enjoying the natural beauty. Alhamdulillah.

This place is great for a family visit—the view is beautiful, and there's a mart that sells food and handcrafted items. However, parking is limited and it's located near the main road.
