How to go to Kuala Terengganu

How to go to Kuala Terengganu. Recently, i went to Kuala Terengganu. To visit my friend over there. I used car to travel, since we were 3 of us. Cant get a cheap Air ticket. I'm staying in wangsa maju, KL. So it easy, just took MRR2 to the North.

Nicely Done..

You'll see a signboard which shows Genting Highland and Kuantan which lead to Gombak Toll. You have to Pay RM5. Now You are in Karak Highway.

Still long way to go..

This picture was taken around 10am at the highway.

Drive untill you reach the next toll, That will be at Bentong Toll. You have to pay RM3. Just drive until you reach the "Jabor" Exit. You'll need to pay RM21.00 there.

The Exit, Take this road (left), it will lead to roundabout. Choose KT,Dungun, Kemaman.

The highway trip is 2 and a half hour journey. after the Exit, You will see a roundabout. Got two ways to Kuala Terengganu, One is Jungle (Jungle+Estate+Small Kampung;"village') road, another one is The Coastal Road (Dungun, Kemaman).

When i went there, i took the Coastal road which is longer distance than the other road. When i comeback from Kuala Terengganu i drove use the Jungle Road. U'll past few small town, kampungs and estate. U'll see Jerangau, Bukit Besi, Bandar Ceneh. I will not recommend this road. Most of the road is not level, Bumpy and a lot of pothole.

Can you see the road, bumpy all the way.

My friends got headache and almost vomit. There were no Rest Area. In case your car broke down, U'll suffer alot.

Try to Use the coastal Road. U'll see Town like Cherating, Dungun, Kemaman, Paka, Rantau Abang, Merchang, Marang.

Most of the town have restaurant and Petrol station. since, Terengganu is the Fortress of Petronas Company, You'll find alot of Petronas petrol station over there. Shell also quit popular over there. I didnt see other petrol station rather than this two.If you use this road, you can stop in any town, take your meal and continue your journey. Most of the road is straight and well maintained.

Got McD also Yeah!!!

The sea is right next to the road. You can stop and take picture. There are some shops which sell souvenir, try to get some and also keropok Lekor.

Always follow the signboard to K.Terengganu.

Even my GPS on the car confuse, it thinks i'm heading to the sea.

There is a place where u'll see people selling lemang and jagung (corn). You can get it there. This road is 3hr journey to Kuala Terengganu, compare to the jungle road which 15min less than this. This road is safe even you drive at night. Just follow the sign board, which say Kuala Terengganu.

The above pictures was taken around 6pm. Very unusual sight.

Total Journey From KL To KT= Approx 5.30 hours.

Total Highway Cost = RM29.00 (5+3+21)

Total Petrol = RM 120 (I drive Honda CR-V, Using V-power 97, It will be cheap if use RON95)

Any doubt, please comment. i'll reply soon. Thank You.
