History & geography

Geography

The Batang Padang River flows through Tapah. Major neighbouring towns are Kampar and Bidor. Due to its location on the western foothills of the Titiwangsa Range, there are waterfalls within its vicinity. The Lata Kinjang waterfall is about 18 km from Tapah on the road to Chenderiang. It is a series of cascades down a 100 m drop. The falls can be seen from the North–South Expressway (PLUS). The other one is the Lata Iskandar waterfall, located further inland along the main route linking the town with Ringlet of Cameron Highlands.
