After we bid goodbye the group, we set off to Gua Musang after breakfast around 0930hrs.
We used the tip given by the group prior to ours, enter into Taman Negara Kuala Koh entrance.





The roads look like these after the entrance.

Just before 18km from entrance, we came across the new road entrance.
Turn Right.


The road lead us into the plantation. If we were to continue, there is a more than 20m depression downwards from the road cause by landslide. 17 May 08, the road was still passer able. But not today.




The roads through the plantation post a great challenge to most vehicles. Potholes with deep and gravels all over the place.











At the last directional indicator leading to Taman Negara Kuala Koh Resort, we turn left into the oil palm plantation.

Shortly we get to see the unfinished end part of the proposed New Highway which was suppose to lead from Gua Musang through Kelantan to Trengganu state.

On our right to the Pipe site was constructed board new highway.


The road continues.


More than 55km from the entrance, we could see this wonderfully view which gave us the assurance that this trip was not wasted.








We found this signage which told us the Trengganu part of the highway over the Lake Kenyir was conmissioned 18 Dec 2007.



Then this.....100m of gravel. There were 3 stretch of them along the highway.





It took us 3hours without food, water and toilet facilities before we came across this familiar petrol kiosk which was 1km away from the entrance to Taman Negara -Kuala Koh
