The MALAYSIAN JUNGLE TRAIN - 16 Hours onboard the ICONIC Jungle Train!

Today I take a journey through the Malaysian Jungle on a train dubbed The Jungle Train. The train runs rom JB (Johur Bharu) to Tumpat. My Journey Starts in Singapore, so first I need to get a train and a bus to the border.
This was an incredible journey, and the reason I love taking these trips.

Welcome to the jungle railway. True. Sad thing about malaysia is forest are replaced by plantations in many areas

[@badnotgood]

Yup. It's a shame. We got too many palm plantation already but still they want to add more.😢

[@keangwooichoo6138]

@@badnotgood greed

[@shukriramlee]

No, the palm plantation area was reserved for development including public transportation. Hence, the forest area is untouchable.

[@keangwooichoo6138]

@shukriramlee6784 yeah but not near the rail tracks. It defeat the purpose to call it jungle railway.

[@shukriramlee]

@@keangwooichoo6138 The purposes are to avoid animal crossing and save forest reserved area. Jungle train is just a nickname.

Ahh I might have mixed that up.

Hi guys! Love this video. I'm hoping you can help me as I am considering taking this train only because your video has inspired me. I travel to Asia a lot. I'm a 70-year-old solo traveler. Last year I was in Malaysia twice as well as Sri Lanka. But after a while you run out of things to do in the particular country that are of interest to you. I'm not a beach person. m My excitement is from culture, food and making new friends. Have you taken the beautiful train through the tea plantations in Sri Lanka as I did? Because looking at your video it looks like what you were seeing through the window is similar to that and if so what would I gain as a new experience by taking this jungle train? I got dengue fever in Laos in 2019 and now the risk of internal bleeding from dengue is greater on a second infection if from a different variant than the one I have antibody's against. So I'm always concerned about jungles and waterfall things due to mosquitoes. Any experience - were their mosquitoes? Do you know if Dengue is prevalent in this area if not in the rainy season?

[@jfilmtravels]

The trip out so accessible to me yet I have yet to try it. Can’t wait for the day to come. (I’m from Singapore haha)

[@JoshGoesSlow]

You should!

We are Malaysia people hope that the next government will be upgraded this KTM Train Jungle Single Track to Non Electrified Double Tracks to reduce travel time, and to provide more comfortable journey from Gemas Station to Tumpat Station. The current government don't have serious attention, hopeless, and useless to improve public rail transportation in this country.
