Terengganu - 4x4 trip to Tasik Kenyir...

Comin' out of nowhere drivin' like rain
Stormbringer dance on the thunder again
Dark cloud gathering breaking the day
No point running 'cause it's coming your way...

Tasik Kenyir is one of the most magnificent tourist spot located in the district of Hulu Terengganu. It is believed that the rain forest is the world oldest tropical rainforest and serves as a part of Malaysia National Parks.

Tasik Kenyir is the largest man-made lake in the South East Asia sharing its border with Kelantan in the west and Pahang in the south. The lake covers 260 km² and contains 340 small islands, which were once hilltops and highlands, more than 14 waterfalls, numerous rapids and rivers.

There are individual timber chalets that blend with its natural and cultural surroundings. This setting provides unique natural landscapes, creating a serene and idyllic environment to calm and refresh the soul. Or one may opt to stay a night or two on the boat house complete with amenities.
