Lata Gapi Waterfall — hero

Did this one as part of a Makanthon trip. Easy enough that a total beginner could do it, which is basically what half our group was. No permit needed either, that's always a plus.

Lata Gapi Waterfall, Serendah About 1 hour from PJ Whole thing took us around 3 hours including picnic and photos Not a hard trail, beginners are fine No permit

The water isn't super clear, more of a regular river colour, but it's fine, didn't bother anyone. Honestly I'd go back. Already thinking about when.
