Gunung Stong is a popular mountain for climbers in Malaysia. It is located within the Gunung Stong State Park (GPS: ), in Jajahan Kuala Krai in Kelantan. The mountain is 1422 meters tall, and is surrounded by other peaks such as Gunung Beirut, Gunung Baha, Gunung Koh, Gunung Saji, Gunung Tera, Gunung Che Tahir, and Gunung Ayam.

To visit Gunung Stong, most people take a train to Dabong. The mountain is situated within the Gunung Stong State Park, which covers an area of 21,950 hectates. The park is covered by dense forest formerly known as the Jelawang Jungle. Among the wildlife found within the park include gibbons, sun bears, Malayan tigers, and Asian elephants. The Rafflesia flower is often found here.

One of the highlights of Gunung Stong State Park is the Gunung Stong Waterfall. Also called Air Terjun Jelawang, this 7-tier fall has a total height of 305 meters (990 feet), making it one of the tallest in Southeast Asia.

Although Gunung Stong is the most popular mountain in the area, it is not the tallest. That honour goes to the 1504-meter Gunung Ayam, which can be reached through a 6-hour trek.

About this website



Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
