The Very popular Lata Bayu This is a very old recreation area and also a renowned spot in the northernmost part of the country. The famous Baling area, a town where meetings with the then Communist insurgents were held! Some 3 kilometers out of town and a branch road to north Kedah, places like Sik, Weng etc. On the way [15 kilometers later] in the village of Assam Java, good and prominent signage directs you to 3 kilometers Park road! The Waterfall is a finale to series of rapids ending up with a cascades. Total height of the continuous slide is about 30 meters high. A beautiful pathway follows the left bank all the way until a level plain on top of the rapids.
There is only one small vertical fall of 2 meters at the end of this stretch.

Lata Mengkuang is located about 12 km from Sik off the road from Sik to Baling. From the road you can see the recreation area, which only attracts visitors during weekends. To reach the waterfall, take the tar road to the left just before you reach the Recreation area. After less than 1 km there is a gate where you can park your car. From there walk along the road for a few hundred meters to the fall.  The recreation area along Sg Chepir is well maintained, but a bit desolate |  During weekends it will be more busy. |  At the end of the road it is not far to the main cascades of Mengkuang |
We liked the quiet atmosphereof Lata Mengkuang. During our visit there was not a lot of water, as it was the dry season. The waterflow will be much stronger during the monsoon.  An advantage of the dry season: you can easily climb the rocks. |  There are several places where you can take a nice shower |  After the cascades there is one almost vertical fall with a nice pool |

The Seven Wells waterfall is named after the seven pools (wells) that can be found at the top of the waterfall.
The entrance to the well-kept park is near the famous Cable Car Station. From the car park you follow the road until a signboard where the right trail climbs steeply up to the actual wells. The left trail leads to the fall.  The entrance of Telaga Tujoh |  The left trail leads to the fall |  The Telaga Tujoh fall |
The waterfall is quite impressive, but you have to choose the rainy season, as the water flow is seasonal. September is a good time to visit the Langkawi falls.  The top part of the fall |  Lower part of the fall |  Easy to spend hours here! | [/tr]
The waterfall is a popular one and attracts many visitors. When you want to visit the 'wells', you have to climb up a steep, well-maintained trail to the top of the waterfall.  Jacuzzi Meditation.... |  Along the trail to the wells |  Some of the seven wells | [/tr]
Even in the dry season, the wells will generally have enough water for a bath. Be careful walking to the edge, the rocks can be slippery. It is possible to trek into the jungle.  Nice pools for a quiet bath |  Danger! Rocks may be slippery. | |

The Temurun waterfall is the tallest waterfall in Langkawi. It is a seasonal fall, best to be visited in September-October. To reach the fall, you follow the signs for the Damai Bay resort.

The Ulu Paip Recreational Forest is located about 15 kn East of Kulim. From Kulim follow the road to Grik. The Park is clearly signposted.

There are several nice wading pools in the river and a few cascades. The main waterfall is a bit disappointing because of the waterpipes spoiling the view.  The forest surrounding the river creates a cool, relaxed atmosphere. |  One of the cascades. |  The main waterfall | [/tr]
 This is the first waterfall encountered | Recently some waterfall hunters have explored the upper regions of the river and found more waterfalls. Access is not easy, as no trail exists.
