Karak, Pahang

Karak (GPS: 3.41301, 102.03174) is a town in Pahang. It was the rest stop for motorists driving between Kuala Lumpur and the East Coast. Karak used to be the terminus of the Karak Highway, which has since been upgraded into the Kuala Lumpur-Karak Expressway (E8), and is now extended as the East Coast Expressway (E8) to continue all the way to Kuala Terengganu. Most of the traffic going to Karak continues on the East Coast Expressway (still E8) to the East Coast of Malaysia.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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