Jeram Pasu, Kelantan

Jeram Pasu, Kelantan (2 May 2017)


Jeram Pasu (GPS: 5.79433, 102.33671) is a waterfall and popular recreational area in Kelantan. It is located along in Pasir Puteh, along the Kota Bharu-Pasir Puteh road.

I have so far visited Jeram Pasu twice. On my first visit in 2006, it was raining heavily. We had to stop a few times to ask the locals for direction, as the map we were carrying did not clearly state its location. We know that it is located at Kampung Tok Amat, but that's about all that I know. After a bit of driving around, we arrived at Jeram Lenang.

By then, it was about to rain. And it did, soon enough, in torrents. There were quick a number of young Malay kids picnicking at Jeram Pasu. As soon as the downpour began, the girls sought shelter under the sheds while the boys continued to play in the pouring rain.

My second visit, which is in 2017, is much less dramatic. It was good weather, with a blue sky even, and I get to visit the waterfall without any rain hindrance. There was much less water than the first visit, as you can compare from the photos from the two visits.

The water of Jeram Pasu was very powerful when we were there, made even stronger by the torrential rain. There is a waterslide that empties into a sort of watery platform. Water then cascades off the platform on three sides. This form an unusual effect. This is certainly a good picnic stop which I would like to visit again, when it is sunny.

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.
