Temenggor Lake

Temenggor Lake (29 April, 2017)


Temenggor Lake (GPS: 5.55072, 101.33583) is a large man-made lake in Perak, Malaysia. Located in Hulu Perak District, about 45 km from the district capital, Gerik, it is the second largest lake in Peninsula Malaysia. The lake was formed when the Temenggor Dam was built in 1978.

Located in the middle of the lake is Pulau Banding, a man-made island formed by the rising waters of the dam. The East-West Highway passes right through Pulau Banding. It is carried across by Jambatan Tasik Temenggor, a set of two bridges which at 880 meters and 640 meters are the longest bridges along the highway.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
