This is our first time venturing into Titiwangsa Range and we decided to unveil the secret that lies in the area of Sungai Siput and surrounding. We manage to gather information from locals and few avid hunters in order to track this vertical waterfall near Terkok PLKN camp. When you drive from Sungai Siput towards Lintang using Pulau Kemiri route, you will cross a small bridge located 1 KM from Lintang, the river is Sungai Kuncha the tributary of Sungai Pelus that flows into Sungai Perak near Karai. For most of the locals the downstream area is known as Lata Durian or Lata Puteri, nice and pleasant picnic area situated along the road towards Terkok PLKN camp. We managed to reach the waterfall by trekking 2 hours inside the dense forest that I would confess full of biodiversity in term of flora and fauna, like what Asmidi told me when we entering the jungle he said "Semuanya Ada", from Elephant dung that scattered along the logging trail, Reflessia bud, sound of primates and not forgotten some trace of cat species left its mark on the trees, guide are highly recommended as there is no visible trail from the abandon logging trail to the waterfall where you required to trek along the river and this area is rarely entered accept for locals Orang Asal and avid tengas anglers.
Journey to the known and unknown waterfall in Malaysia, revisit the god creation like a forefather before us in our own style and conclusion.

SUNGAI BULOH FALLS
When we talk about waterfall in Sungai Siput (U), people will pointing at Lasah territories, but not many knows that just behind the town lies small waterfall descending from Kledang Saiong Range but the spoil side the waterfall lies inside palm oil plantation. First information I gathered from Sungai Siput (U) e-komuniti website (according to this website it also known as Lata Sengkang) and finally I saw the first ever photo of the waterfall in black and white posted in Sungai Siput Facebook group. Just decided to try my luck and headed towards Sungai Siput (U) by motorcycles which not advisable to those in late 30's (your butt will cramp). We manage to get help from some auntie and uncle at the Chinese temple nearby the school, really helpful.. though we are wearing golok they seems they're not afraid to shed some information.
