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

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While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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.
