Jungle Train Adventure - Kuala Lipis / Part I

This video is the beginning of a Jungle adventure this time by train, this route is known as the Jungle Train or the The East Coast Line.
We started in Kuala Lipis a town 160km north east of Kuala Lumpur.
Kuala Lipis was a gold-mining centre before the British arrived in 1887.
In 1898, it became the capital of Pahang until 1953. During this time, grand colonial buildings, such as the imposing District Offices and the Clifford School, and the Pahang Club were built. The hilltop house of the British Resident is now a hotel and museum.
The town grew and prospered with the coming of the railway in 1924. However, in August 1955, the state capital was shifted to Kuantan, and Kuala Lipis fell into a decline.
We highly recommend spending at least a day there to visit the old town.
Now onto the train journey...
Part II coming soon...
It runs from Tumpat just north of Kota Bharu in Kelantan down to Gemas in Negeri Sembilan where it joins with the west coast line which runs all the way from Singapore to Bangkok via Johor Bahru, Kuala Lumpur and Penang.
The name 'East Coast Line' is rather misleading - once the train leaves Tumpat it goes nowhere near the sea. Perhaps it is so-called because it links the east coast state of Kelantan to the rest of Malaysia's rail network. Jungle Railway is a more accurate description because it passes through the sparsely populated and heavily forested interior of Peninsula Malaysia and skirts the Taman Negara and Kenong Rimba national parks.

Malaysians are so nice. We’ve had the same experience many times before - when you go to pay and the shopkeeper refuses! We usually drop the money in the counter and run too, lol! Good video

[@Travelgramers]

[@hinosusanto7789]

When i was 24, I joined a Co building the semi highway linking Kuala lipis to border of kelantan. Those days, there were ppl living on the bamboo raft plying the river, similar to hk boat ppl. Nothing much tourists can explore as there was no Internet, GPS

[@beautifuldream108]

Traveling in Asia, always remember to wake up early, to catch the activities of locals, then go back to hotel or hostel to nap in the noon or afternoon time 2pm 4pm or 1-3pm, have a cool shower, then come out again to have a walk around and enjoy dinner.

[@maziahismail1392]

I have never been to Kuala Lipis .. and so your video provided me with a good insight of the town .. the only thing I know about kuala lipis is that it is the hometown of msia's no 1 singer .. Siti Nurhaliza .. as usual I love watching your video .. it is very interesting .. informative and inspiring .. can't wait for part 2 .. please stay safe .. have fun and take care .. ❤

[@Travelgramers]

Kuala Lipis is worth a visit and it’s so close to KL it makes it a perfect weekend trip for people living there 😁 Thank you for your support and hope you enjoy our next video ahah 😁😁

Been following both of you on your travels for few months.. this vlog loved the way both of you explored and filmed esp all the old buildings and esp the details in the Chinese temple too.i find budget hotels in smaller quiet towns or less popular with international tourist prices not as cheap as compared to popular places or even KL budget hotels can be cheaper than small towns.. hawker prices can be cheaper or around same price .. stay safe, take precautions and enjoy your life ok.. thanks for sharing so many of your travel tips and journey with us..

[@mysticdreamworks]

Ok. now i felt weird.. I followed (and subscribed of course) both of you since early Malaysia visit, then langkawi, then stuck on lockdown, then now.. you just arrived to Kuala Lipis, my HOMETOWN. Lol. In it's glorious day, many tourist come there to go to Kenong Rimba Park. And K. Lipis do act as 2nd main drop point to Taman Negara (after jerantut). Kenong rimba park previously a well known places for jungle lover, somehow sadly as we known it has been damaged now.. due to illegal & legal logging activities . If you not have much plan, after gua musang, you can go back a little bit to Merapoh. There's another entrance to Taman Negara (probably the 3rd or 4th entrance - each are different experience and area attraction) however im not sure it still close or open for now.

[@Travelgramers]

Wow thanks so much for your support and recommendations, we have no idea where to go now so we might consider Merapoh 😃😃😉

[@mysticdreamworks]

@@Travelgramers Merapoh wasn't have much to do, its just a common rural residential area. But the nature tour into Taman Negara is another wonder story. They got waterfalls, boating thru caves, kelah (a rare type of local fish) sanctuary, and so on. Here's from local newspaper www.nst.com.my/lifestyle/jom/2020/07/612726/natural-wonder-merapoh The contact number is there, too. Im not sure walk-in the packages availability or by reservation only because it may include 4 x 4 adventure to reach the destination. But for whom love nature, this might be 1 of the best. :)
