Pulau Banding is along this route it is only 42km away from Gerik with nearly 30km up hill and 12km down hill to the destination. |
East - West Highway (Route 4) sometime refer as Gerik - Jeli highway, the road is narrow at most stretches and pedal by pedal I scale the climb. |
There are breathable space like this at some part on uphill for vehicles to overtake. But it's back to square one if both of the lanes are being used at the same time and I am back on the white line. |
As I got higher and higher I get to enjoy the scenic view feeling at top of the world but sometime it is too quiet and it is can be scary. |

Chalet Terapung - Room for let , how often to you get to stay on a floating chalet. |
I got mine for RM90 per night, no air-cond, only "kipas" wall fan and wifi was weak. On the bright side it has a beautiful scenery and it's something extraordinary. |
Next to the chalet there is a fish feeding farm. |
Catfish (ikan baung) from the feeding farm. |
