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.
The Selangor Reservoir near KKB
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

Dear all the pros, can I track to Lata Medang and back, without camping overnight? If I bring my son 13 years old will it be too difficult for a kid? I am interested to join anyone/group planning to go there. My email ck_choo@stencil-works.com

Just return from Lata Medang trip today, one night camp at Lubuk Mecu.. very nice place..actually after reached the Y junction (with the 2 people in the picture)there will be another fork , and we took left...it took 2hrs of treking n hiking to reach Lubuk Mecu..overall it took about 4hrs to reach Lubuk Mecu. Anyway we fail to go to Medang because after crossing Lubuk Mecu, the trek is not clear, after 50m can see many man-made no entry..and there is a part got fallen bamboo which looks dark and gloomy..so we decide not to go to Medang

Found the beautiful lata medang based on website instructions, thanks. Want to add that as.u leave the sg.luit valley n climb the ridge between the river n sg.rinting, there is another fork where u take left.. also, upper falls of medang is accessible via some vague trails on the left ie. no need cross rivers. As we ended our hike, big families were doing Bbq etc. at trail head area. a terrible shame as rubbish was shrewn eveywhere.
