Trekking

When you drive from Kuala Kubu Bharu to Fraser's Hill, you will see, just after the Selangor Reservoir, a
side road leading to Kg Pertak. Follow this road,through the village and park your car where the road
becomes bad. There is a footbridge across a small stream. Follow the trail until you reach the ramshackle
bridge over the Sg Luit. Just after this bridge the trail forks, choose either one, they join again.

Crossing Sg Luit

A clear trail

A few hundred meter after the Luit crossing there is a fork, where you keep left. The right trail leads to
Bukit Kutu. Follow the trail along the river, you will pass an nice waterfall (Lata Jebus). After about 1.5 km
there is another fork. Here you keep right, the left trail keeps following the Luit river.

Keep left here. The right trail leads to

Bukit Kitu

Lata Jebus, one of the Sg Luit falls

Keep right. The left trail leads to the Sg

Luit falls

You leave now the Sg Luit valley, and climb up the ridge between this river and Sg Rinting. Some steep
stretches, but the trail is clear and well maintained by the Temuar for access to their gardens. Only a pity
that it is also used by local bikers, so some parts are heavily eroded.

The trail is well maintained by the Temiar

Just before reaching Lubuk Mecu

another fall

Admiring Lubuk Mecu

From the trail head it will take about 2 hours (6 km) to reach Lubuk Mecu. A huge pool invites you to take
a refreshing bath. There is another fall just below Mecu, also with a nice pool. And Lata Medang is only
200 m further upstream. Keep to the left of Mecu, and you will find vague trails, or just trek the river,
depending on the water flow. Do NOT take a trail to the left, just before you reach Mecu, it continues uphill
and does not lead to Medang.

With a beautiful pool

Perfect for a nice bath

Some light river trekking

The Medang fall is quite impressive. To reach the upper tier, you must cross the river. This will not always
be easy/possible, as the current can be strong! Be careful. And leave only footprints, these falls are still
unspoilt, keep it that way
