Sungai Kelantan

Sungai Kelantan (29 April, 2017)


Sungai Kelantan is the longest and most important river in Kelantan. The state capital, Kota Bharu, lies on its eastern bank. The name Sungai Kelantan begins at the confluence of Sungai Galas with Sungai Lebir, near the town of Kuala Krai. Above that confluence, the river is called Sungai Galas, Sungai Nenggiri and for its first twenty miles, Sungai Betis.

In addition to Kota Bharu and Kuala Krai, Sungai Kelantan also flows through the town of Pasir Mas. Along with all its tributaries, it has a catchment area totalling 11,900 square kilometers. As it reaches the South China Sea, it fans out into a wide delta.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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