Sekayu Waterfalls
The beautiful 3-tiered waterfall is one of the main attractions to both
local and foreign visitors. Ample picnic areas located along the river are
popular sites for family outings during holidays.
 The
Sekayu Waterfall is one of the two waterfalls collectively called the
Sungai Ceralak Waterfalls. The first, Sekayu Waterfalls is known as Jeram
Solo, while the second, at 24 m with a 190 sq m pool, is called Jeram
Padang. The area has some attractive trees and plants including various
species of pretty wild flowers. The surrounding hills also provide a
scenic backdrop for photographers. Getting to the site is an adventure in
itself, involving a boat ride from Kuala Jengai to Kuala Sungai Ceralak, a
jungle hike and river crossing across the Sungai Ceralak itself. The other
alternative route involves logging trails
and jungle tracks.
For those who yearn for adventure, a jungle trail approximately 3 km long
has been built in the forest area. Visitor will also get the opportunity
to see different species of wildlife such as deer, white-handed gibbons,
otters, peacock and a few species of birds. Shelters, tables and benches
are placed at several locations within the picnic areas for the visitors'
convenience. A children's playground equipped with various playing
facilities is also provided.
Location � About 56 km from K.

Cemerong Waterfalls
The Chemerong Waterfall or some call Lata Cemeruh, with its 305 m slope
offers yet untouched and diverse riches of nature and wildlife. The
tallest waterfall in Terengganu state, it is another good point for
trekking activities. This remote and very tall Cemerong Fall though easily
accessible, reaching the fall is quite an expedition because of its
remoteness and lack of signage.
From the carpark, a nearby trail leds to the thick forest where you will
find a few very attractive waterfalls in a steep ravine (be careful!).
There is a nice place to camp nearby. At the left side of the Lower Fall,
a trail starts uphill. In the beginning it is cemented. The stream is very
quiet here and there are beautiful buttressed trees. It will take you
about one hour to reach the top of the waterfall.
Location : In the inner land of
Dungun, about 30 minutes drive from Kg. Pasir Raja

Lata Tembakah
The Lata Tembakah Waterfalls is located in the Pelagat forest reserve is
made of a beautiful seven-tiered cascading waterfall with its highest
point at 50 metres. The park is a haven for those who are health conscious
and love adventure retreats such as swimming, camping, jungle-trekking and
nature walks. The park provides basic amenities such as changing rooms and
rest areas.
For nature and adventure lovers, they can go for jungle trekking in the
forest or just take a stroll along the footpaths and concrete steps. There
are also camping facilities available, as well as chalets and rest house,
for those who want to stay overnight.
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 during weekends and holidays. When you follow the
trail along the river, you'll reach the mid falls. It is number 4 of the
list and is a tall fall (about 80 meters). From here you can continue to
the upper falls by either following the jungle trail, which is clearly
signposted.
The upper falls are also very impressive and as it takes some effort to
reach them, it will be quiet even on crowded weekends.
Location : about 24km from Jerteh /
130km from Kuala Terengganu.
