Lata Keding boasts numerous unique geological features encompassing diverse geological structures. The area is in the Jeli District of Kelantan and straddles the border of Kelantan and Perak. The topography ranges from a height of 480 meters to a low of 40 meters. This research was focused on the geoheritage value of Lata Keding and explored its potential for geotourism. The study area comprises five distinct rock units: hornfels, gneiss, schist, meta-alkali feldspar granite, and meta quartz-rich granitoid. Lata Keding's geoheritage value assessment revealed high aesthetic and recreational significance based on the qualitative and quantitative evaluation. The primary attraction of that area is its beautiful cascades and unique rock structures. Activities such as swimming, picnicking, and photography have gained popularity among visitors. Thus, it is important to protect and preserve Lata Keding to maintain its natural integrity, particularly in the face of potential rapid development.
