What can i say about the trip to Gua Musang, Kelantan?
WONDERFUL !!!!!!
A peacuful & small town. I believe you can live 10 years longer in Kelantan compared to KL. Just one problem for me, i can't understand their Bahasa Malaysia, masalah sikit ni. I will come back to Kelantan for another trip soon, to work and to get back my Hush Puppy shirt that i left in Fully Inn (Hotel).
Actually, Kelantan is not that scary of what we always heard from & read from newspaper, News, etc. I believe it is all the propaganda being carried out by certain party who try to create a fear factor for non-bumi. I saw the non-bumi live there happily, work there happily, everyone is living in harmony. I fell 10x safer walking in Gua Musang compared to KL/JB. Maybe i should walk also in Kota Bharu in order to give further comment.
We started our journey from KL office, using KL - Karak highway, exit at Bentong, going toward Raub, then Kuala Lipis and past through Merapoh, crossed Pahang - Kelantan border and reach Gua Musang. Total time requried is 5 hours including lunch break.
Rest for a while and had a walk around the town and discovered that there are quite a lot of chinese and indian living in Gua Musang. Yes, Shin (i think is Shiok Shin) is right, it is a very small town.
Then we drove further 70km toward Kuala Krai to the palm oil mill to have a look before the presentation for next day morning. From here, it is ust another 120km ++ to Kota Bharu.
After we finished our work, we used new road that link Gua Musang and Cameron Highland. Nice scenery, cool weather. On the way, we saw a lot of camp sites for logging, whether illegal or legal, i have no idea. However, when approaching Cameron Highland, we noticed a lot of forest has been cleared for planting Flowers. No proper planning!
From Cameron Highland, we used Cameron Highlang - Simpang Pulai road instead of Cameron - Tapah road. I bought some corn that damn expensive - RM10 for 4, called Jagung Susu, damn sweet. Bought some "dong chong chow" as well, carrot, vege and tomato.
If not my "broken" knee, i will organize a cycling trip. There are many options you can choose from.
1. KL - Gombak - Bentong - Raub - Kuala Lipis - Gua Musang (~ 300 km) (using bus to go back KL)
2. KL - Gombak - Bentong - Raub - Fraser Hill - KL
3. KL - Gombak - Bentong - Raub - Kuala Lipis - Gua Musang - Jeli - Grik - PG
4. KL - Gombak - Bentong - Raub - Kuala Lipis - Gua Musang - Kota Bharu - Jeli - Grik - PG
5. KL - Gombak - Bentong - Raub - Kuala Lipis - Gua Musang - Cameron Highlang - Tapah - KL
6. KL - Gombak - Bentong - Raub - Kuala Lipis - Gua Musang - Cameron Highland - Sipang Pulai - Ipoh
7. PG - Grik - Jeli - Kota Bharu - Gua Musang - Cameron Highland - Simpang Pulai - Taiping - PG
8. PG - Grik - Jeli - Gua Musang - Cameron Highland - Simpang Pulai - Taiping - PG
9. PG - Tai Ping - Cameron Highland - Gua Musang - Jeli - Baling - PG.
So many route you can plan with, nice scenry, unpolluted area, not many car at most of the road...... Wait till my knee operation and fully recover next year.

I've made 3 days cycling trip with 15kg load from Tapah to Gua Musang via Cameron Highland. A really butt-burning experience. Plan to make 6 days cycling trip from Butterworth to Kenyir via Grik, Jeli and Gua Musang.Anyone interested?
