Gunung Stong


Posted in Malaysia by admin - Feb 2, 2010

Gunung (Mount) Stong is located in Dabong Forest Reserve in the northern Malaysian state of Kelantan. This area offers some pristine forest and interesting but elusive wildlife such as elephants.

Gunung Stong (1433 metres) and her seven waterfalls was ranked 5th out of a list of 10 special places for eco-tourism in Malaysia. Be rewarded by the breath taking sight of foaming water thundering down the smooth, sheer granite face of Jelawang Fall – the highest waterfall drop in South East Asia with a height of approximately 305 metres.

Located in Kelantan is a cave, Gua Ikan (Fish Cave). Its name is derived from a solitary rock that looks like a fish. To cave explorers on an expedition, part of the lure is trying to find a pot of gold believed to have been hidden during the Japanese Occupation.
