Getting there …
~turn left or be in the lane with signboard “Genting Highway, UIAM, Janda Baik”. Highway Code # E8 ~just after half an hour you drive through a tunnel and turn left into a signboard reads “Genting Highland, Janda Baik ”. It is a very easy to recognise the landmark .As you could see the eatery or rest area. And yes! There is KFC (fried chicken outlet) here. ~follow the roundabout. And drive for another half an hour. Turn right into a big sign read “Selamat Datang ke Janda Baik, Bentong, Pahang” ~drive another 15 minutes and turn left into a junction. After you, pass the police station (on your right). ~the site is located just after a bridge opposite the SK Janda Baik, an orange color primary school on your left.
All this while we thought that Janda Baik have a waterfall. We were amused when told by the village folk, there was no waterfall only the river! Moreover, we wonder why so many private chalet and outward bound training centre mushrooming in this area. In addition, the visitor rented the chalet just to stay by the river. Amazing, isn’t it! So we decided to check this out.
Janda Baik is located approximately 45-50 km from Kuala Lumpur. It has a well maintain road and accessible by car. Along the way to the river, you could enjoy the well tender fruit orchards. I noticed the farmers here planted their orchards with lots of durian tree. Durians, being major fruits of Pahang will be the most sought after fruit of the season. A few restaurant serve local dishes. I will suggest you to buy or cooked you own meal before coming here. Or you can stop at one of a unique restaurant there call “ Andak’s Café”
However, it’s a very nice getaway from Kuala Lumpur city as you will enjoy the panoramic view of the valley along the way to this village Related articles
