jalan baling-pengkalan hulu-gerik

Stationmonkey's personal encounter-

- Jalan ni memang gila. Dahla berbukit, kona tajam banyak pulak tu. Hutan memang tebal kiri kanan, jalan pun agak sempit. Kalau keretak kau rosak tengah malam, belum tentu kau akan selamat untuk melihat siang keesokan harinya....
Sebelum sampai pekan pengkalan hulu, dari gerik, kau akan lalu satu kawasan berbukit dan redup dengan pokok2, kat situ selalunya kalau lalu signal akan hilang dalam 10-15 saat, then ada balik. pernah sekali aku bawak agak laju jugak kat situ, petang2 jugak la nak dekat maghrib, sampai satu kona ni nak go uphill sikit, aku perasan macam ada satu perkampungan kecik la, adalah rumah dalam 4-5 biji, budak2 main tepi jalan and nenek2 lepak kat pangkin rumah. Pemandangan biasa kat kampung. Aku pun meneruskan perjalanan dengan biasa.

Keesokan harinya aku lalu tempat sama, dari pengkalan hulu ke gerik. Aku memang cam tempat signal hilang tu sebab struktur pokok kat situ lain sikit, pokok2 dia tinggi dan redup macam 'memayungi' jalan tu, so tak terasa bahang matahari. Jalan lain pokok tumbuh menegak. Time aku lalu situ aku bawak slow sikit sebab cousin aku ada, lepas tu aku pelik, eh, bukan ada kampung ke kat sini semalam. Aku tanya cousin aku yang memang duduk situ, bukan ke kat situ sepatutnya ada rumah2? Cousin aku kata
"Shh, jangan tegur."


- This road got many hills, dangerous corners, thick forest on the sides, and small road. If your car rosak in the middle of the night memang die la...
- Got this one road, before you reach the town, you'll find this road got the tree grows and cover the road, so it's very cool and shady, but at that place, your phone signal will hilang in about 15 secs.
- So i drive there and saw a small village, 4-5 houses with kids and old people doing normal kampung people stuff
- Go on driving without thinking anything
- Next day drive with cousin at the same spot. I recognize it very well because that's the ONLY place where the tree grows sideways and shade the road, while the rest of the trees at other part grows upwards.
- No trace of people or houses are found
- Ask cousin, i tot supposedly got houses there?
- Cousin say "choyyyy u diam2 sudah la"

Where else in malaysia you guys pernah kena kacau on the road? Or heard stories about jalan berhantu?

Last week, I've used this road, started from Batu Rakit, Kuala Terengganu -> Kota Bharu -> Jeli all over to Gerik, then using the Jeniang-Sik old road until taking the Gurun highway exit to my final destination, Kangar, Perlis.

My family & my colleague's family started the journey from Batu Rakit at 10pm, arrive at KB 12am, then drifting thru Jeli-Gerik winding & hilly road around wee hours, reaching Gerik at 3am, then the Pengkalan Hulu-Baling hilly road again, reaching Gurun highway exit around 430am & finally Kangar, Perlis around 7am on next day.

My comment on my very own personal experience: Although the road there during the wee hours is very foggy (using HIGHBEAM will render you blind because of limited visibility) & i had to rely HEAVILY on the road's white stripes & signboards + PapaGO GPS (the GPS shows 90 degrees corner, some even got ~180 degrees corners as well! shocking.gif ), there is no ghost, apparition, Cik Pontianak, Dracula or whatsoever.

I think when you are driving & getting tired, your MIND starts to think irrationally; creating unnecessary objects that don't exist.

Few advices before taking the dangerous Gerik-Jeli & Pengkalan Hulu-Gerik-Baling roads
- get long rest/sleep
- stock up on Livita/Poweroot Tongkat Ali drinks
- smokes (if you're a smoker)
- check your car (engine oil, coolant, tyre pressure ,etc)

If all of these are checked, then you can safely + happily drift/uphill/downhill battle the Gerik-Jeli or Pengkalan Hulu-Gerik-Baling dangerous road after midnite! thumbup.gif

PS - Watch out for cows & elephants though. whistling.gif
