On 13 March 2012 Rahim, Paul and I visited two remote waterfalls in the Mertar river. We stayed overnight with Rahim's uncle in an Orang Asli village. The next morning we went with guides. The Mertar river is a tributary of the powerful Jelai river.

River trekking not always easy

First we visited the upper waterfall, Lata Cenrat, Quite powerful. After lunch there we went to Lata Pilau, the lower fall. We had to cross the Mertar river again, very carefully, the current was strong.
