After visiting Lata Perahu, we decided to explore another waterfall, Lata Kekabu which is about 20 km away.
Lata Kekabu is situated in the Forest Recreational Park in Lake Chenderoh area less than 10 km from a nearby town of Lenggong, Perak. The signage of the park is clearly visible on the signboard on the main road. From the main road, there is a paved road leading direct to the spacious car park outside the entrance of the Forest Recreational Park.

Lata Kekabu is a popular destination among local and foreign nature lovers, who love to explore the pristine beauty of flora and fauna of the Dipterocarp forest. Located in the Bintang Hijau Range, it is surrounded with tropical lowland rain-forest, swirling rivers and impressive 50 meters high waterfalls. Most trees are tagged to facilitate visitors to identify the types of trees found here.

A map of the waterfall and the surrounding area is located at the entrance. From the entrance, there is a pedestrian path leading to the recreational areas. The path ends at Lata Kekabu waterfall after following a few bends of the river and crossing a suspension bridge.
