Gunung Stong
One of Kelantan’s highest peaks at 1,433 metres is Gunung Stong. Tackling this mountain is a challenge not to be missed by adventurers and mountain climbers. Also pay a visit to the nearby Gua Ikan or Fish Cave which derived its name from a solitary rock shaped like a fish. Explore the cave and its surroundings and you may just stumble upon treasures believed to have been stashed away there during the Japanese Occupation. The mountain is also the site of another one of Kelantan’s treasures, the seven-tiered Jelawang Waterfalls. At a height of 303metres it is considered one of the highest in South-east Asia.
Gua Musang
At Gua Musang you will see limestone caves, a cave temple and the Lata Bringin Waterfalls, the 120 m highest waterfalls in the country. It is also just a 2-hour drive from Taman Negara (The National Park). In Gua Musang you can also visit a goldmine, a deer park, an ethno-botanical garden and aboriginal settlements. One of the best ways of taking in the natural sights is by rafting/cruising down the Nenggiri River.
Waterfalls
The cascading rejuvenating waterfalls of Jeram Pasu and Jeram Lenang, about 12 metres high, offer the ideal location for picnics and swimming. The Lata Beringin is another spectacular falls with a 120m drop within lush green surroundings.
Kuala Koh
Kuala Koh, the new entry point to Taman Negara on its northern border, has lush rainforest and pristine rivers lined with giant trees. It is ideal for activities such as jungle-trekking, bird watching, river rafting, fishing and mountain climbing. A natural marvel here is the Ara Circle, where you can walk under the roots of the giant Ara tree. Chalets and dormitories are available for those who crave a night surrounded by wilderness
