Lata Kinjang is a very big waterfall located near Tapah in Perak. To be exact, it is nearest the village of Kampung Kinjang, and the nearest town is Chenderiang. The name Lata Kinjang means cascading falls. It is one of the most majestic waterfalls in Malaysia. Visible from along the North South Expressway, Lata Kinjang is accessible from the Tapah Exit, and is about 18km from Tapah town.

The main attraction of Lata Kinjang is the multi-tiered waterfall that cascades for 100m down the side of the mountain. The whole falls at Lata Kinjang is said to total 850m (2850ft) in height! The district is home to several orang asli settlement. One may wade or swim in the many recess pools into which the cascades empty. A scrubby row of foodstalls and an orchid garden is located at the bottom of the falls.

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While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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.
