The Tembakah Waterfalls are probably the most impressive falls of Terengganu. The Hutan Lipur Lata Tembakah is clearly signposted and can be reached from Jertih. Coming from K. Terengganu a shortcut is possible by taking the T142 near Kg Jabi.

This is the sign you will see, when you come from K. Terengganu

The park is well maintained with many facilities

A timetable gives time and distance to the falls, but it is not very accurate

The first waterfalls are actually more like cascades. They have nice, large pools, which make them perfect for family outings. Not surprisingly, this park can be crowded!

The first cascade

Some of the cascades can be used as (bumpy) slides.
When you follow the trail along the river, you reach the main fall of the park. It is number 4 of the list.

It is a tall fall with an estimated altitude of 80 meters

To reach the upper falls, there are two possibities. First, you can choose the jungle trail, which is clearly signposted. The other way is to scramble upwards at the right side of the main fall. Interesting but not easy.The upper falls are also very impressive and as it takes some effort to reach them, they will be quiet even when there is a crowd.
