The rugged landscape of
GSSP offers many exciting adventures for anyone who loves nature and the great

significant conservation area with richflora and fauna diversity.
There is a few places of interest at Gunung
Stong State Park like the Jelawang Waterfall, an impressive seven-tier
waterfall is one of the highest waterfalls in Malaysia. Bogo Rock Shelter, a
cave-like formation, is a suitable resting point on the way to the summit of
Gunung Stong, which can be reached within four hours of trekking
The best way to enter
the interiors of Kelantan and, at the same time, get a first-hand look at the
typical village life, is to take the KTM train – once romantically known as the
Jungle Train in the spirit of adventure and exploration – right through the state.
One of the stops along the way is in the quaint village of Dabong, about 155 kilometers from Kota Bharu, the state capital. Dabong lies in the area dedicated as GSSP and is situated on the fringes of Malaysia’s massive Titiwangsa range.
