Lata Ulu Chepor, ChemorLata Ulu Chepor, Chemor (31 July 2019)


Lata Ulu Chepor (GPS: 4.70043, 101.07731) is a forest recreation park in Chemor, near Ipoh, Perak. It is located on the eastern edge of the Keledang mountain range, approximately 16km to the north of the Ipoh city centre. The name Lata Ulu Chepor refers to the series of rapids on Sungei Chepor, near the village of Kampung Ulu Chepor.

Sungai Chepor has its source at Gunung Peninjau, which at 1,058m is the highest peak on the Keledang range. The river flows down a steep slope through a V-shape valley for some 4km before entering Sungai Pari which itself is a tributary to Sungai Kinta. There are a number of waterfalls on Sungai Chepor. Recreational sites in the downstream of the river are managed by the Kampung Ulu Chepor Resident Association whereas the sites upstream are managed by the Perak State Forestry Department.

The village of Kampung Ulu Chepor is now about 200 years old. Its founding is traced to tin mining activities on Sungai Pari. The village has a speciality, which is pitcher plant glutinous rice made by the locals.

About this website



Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
