February MM: Spring Cleaning

This February, we're going spring cleaning at Lata Hammer Waterfall! Situated near Bentong, Pahang, Lata Hammer is a great place to relax and escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. Unfortunately, it's serenity and beauty that attracts visitors is also what causes it to be littered with all sorts of rubbish.

Lata Hammers. Trying to keep it clean and serene.

So, this month, Raleigh KL will be heading over to help clean up Lata Hammer Waterfall. We will also be spending the afternoon relaxing to the symphony of nature so join us then!
