First stop: Lata Kinjang to pick up Sakinah. This tall waterfall is visible from the PLUS Highway just north of the Tapah Interchange as one heads north

Kerawang motifs from the Masjid Kristal Kuala TerenganuWe managed to rush through a trip to the east coast over the Christmas break.
But driving through three states over three days is a tough job, I was to find out.
Luckily the weather was fine throughout. Despite warnings of the monsoon rain and of the floods recurring in Kelantan, alhamdulillah we didn't meet any downpour except during the last stretch of the journey along Karak Highway.
If I was honest, my greatest fear was driving the East West highway from Grik to Jeli - especially if it had rained. For this is one stretch of road which I hadn't driven before. Moreover, it is a crooked, mountainous ride all the way up and down the Banjaran Titiwangsa. It doesn't help, of course, that I am afraid of heights!

Azizi, Short brief story but seems to be a wonderful break covering certain important areas. I am sure you will decribe with more details. Did you stop at the water fall along the highway? I have passed tons of time but never make way there yet? Also too the birth area of Perak man. Belum sempat masuk ke Pekan tu tapi lalu sahaja disana,. I just loved the door knob Boleh tau samada boleh dapat satu sp itu? Ya our country offers many things but sadly we fail to see the grandeur. Thanksfor the observation

No I didn't stop at the water fall, we were practically rushing by. Will do that the nest time. I will ask the house owner about the door knob and let you know.
