Use Kulim/Grik highway, after Grik, drive slowly to enjoy the spectacular view of mountain, lake, forest etc etc. Stop at Tasek Banding, both side of the beautiful bridge has got a chalet and the other a resort if you intend to stay overnight, even if just stop for tea to witness the marvelous scenery !





Always start your journey in the morning because just in case something happen to you or your car, there is always sufficient times to look for assistant/help ! If you are driving alone, never stop for anything, even if some body hit/bang your car, just go to the nearest police station.





Also please drive carefully as the East/West highway [ from Grik of Perak to Jeli of Kelantan ] is quite winding and going uphill til Tasek Banding then all the way downhill. A lot of lorry balak also use this highway, so please take note. If you are lucky, you may spotted elephant crossing the road ! Then stop at a distance, never honk those animal ! If you have company, stop at any way you think is worth your times, park your car safely then take some pictures ! Some of the view are simply breath taking !





The whole journey should be about 5 hours !





All the best !
Reply:It is about 300 km and probably takes you from 4 to 5 hours. The state road is quite safe and make sure your car is in good condition to drive.


Always start of in a full tank to avoid searching for petrol stations during your journey...





Have a safe journey and enjoy your stay...
