Lata Ulu Chepor, Chemor (31 July 2019)


Lata Ulu Chepor (GPS: 4.70043, 101.07731) is a forest recreation park in Chemor, near Ipoh, Perak. It is located on the eastern edge of the Keledang mountain range, approximately 16km to the north of the Ipoh city centre. The name Lata Ulu Chepor refers to the series of rapids on Sungei Chepor, near the village of Kampung Ulu Chepor.

Sungai Chepor has its source at Gunung Peninjau, which at 1,058m is the highest peak on the Keledang range. The river flows down a steep slope through a V-shape valley for some 4km before entering Sungai Pari which itself is a tributary to Sungai Kinta. There are a number of waterfalls on Sungai Chepor. Recreational sites in the downstream of the river are managed by the Kampung Ulu Chepor Resident Association whereas the sites upstream are managed by the Perak State Forestry Department.

The village of Kampung Ulu Chepor is now about 200 years old. Its founding is traced to tin mining activities on Sungai Pari. The village has a speciality, which is pitcher plant glutinous rice made by the locals.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.

To get to know me better, do follow me on Facebook!
