Pure Luxury

“Call me spoiled - but I love to be treated like a queen when traveling. Only the best is good enough for me. Hotels that make my vacation a dream of luxury and seduction are my choices. Pay attention to the (violet Medal) for luxury accommodation.”

Sustainable Travel

“There is only one earth and we should go out and see it. I like hotels, which look for sustainability. It is not only protecting the ecology, but also taking care for the local business and culture. I recommend the medal for eco accomodation. Let’s protect our earth. Sustainable travel is travelling with responsibility.”

Markus Lenk, Düsseldorf, Germany

The bamboo Masjid Buluh, nearby Taman Etnobotani, and activities on the Sungai Nenggiri offer different experiences around Gua Musang. For planning, it is especially helpful to understand their locations: Taman Etnobotani and the river activities are in the surrounding area, while Eco R&R Lojing Highlands is in the wider region. This helps you distinguish between destinations in the Gua Musang area, nearby places for excursions, and attractions farther afield when planning your accommodation. Each year, the Nenggiri Challenge kayaking event runs from the Gua-Cha jetty to Kg. Setar and includes an overnight stay in Pos Pulat. Participants include locals as well as visitors from Switzerland, Thailand, Singapore, and Indonesia. Kuala Betis is an access point and starting point for activities and attractions along the Sungai Nenggiri.

Natural Attractions Nearby

Taman Etnobotani is on the Gua Musang–Kuala Lumpur federal highway, about three kilometers from Gua Musang town center. From town, it is about 500 meters past Taman Wangi. Visitors can see various herb-growing areas, hike on hills, camp, use the Canopy Walkway, and explore caves. The habitats of cassowaries and Timor deer are also among the topics visitors can learn about; visitors can also find out more about the health-related uses of herbs. Herb cultivation and knowledge of herbs offer a different focus from hiking, camping, the Canopy Walkway, and caves. In the case of cassowaries and Timor deer, the focus is on their habitats; sightings of individual animals are not guaranteed. Check the current visiting conditions in advance.

Masjid Buluh: Bamboo Construction and a Rest Stop

Masjid Buluh in the Gua Musang area is built from bamboo and was the first mosque of its kind in Kelantan. It is on the Gua Musang–Kuala Krai road and serves travelers as a place to pray and rest, especially during the festive travel season. Its bamboo construction and use as a rest stop give the destination distinct points of interest. The MUSE ECOPARK is also located on the mosque grounds. Masjid Buluh has basic facilities and a large parking area. If you rely on these facilities, check their current condition before visiting.

Accommodation in the Wider Region

Eco R&R Lojing Highlands is in the wider region around Gua Musang; operations began in June 2016. The complex includes a sales kiosk, a prayer room, spacious parking areas, children's play equipment, and public toilets. Seven motels are also available for rent. Facilities and rental options may change: before making plans, check which facilities are currently available and whether a motel is available.
