Lata Berkoh
Tiered rapids and clear deep pools on the upper Tahan River, reachable by boat or on foot in half a day. A good spot for swimming and picnicking in the rainforest.
Lata Berkoh lies about 8 km upstream from the headquarters. A common way to visit is to charter a longboat to travel up the Tahan River for about an hour. Along the way, you must get out and push the boat through shallow sections. Alternatively, you can hike along the rainforest trail for about 3 to 4 hours one way. The route has ups and downs and requires wading. The waterfall's drop is modest, but the water is clear and good for wading, and there are simple rain shelters nearby. It is best to go with a guide. Do not enter the water after rain, when the river can rise rapidly.
