Hello to All,

Wish to know more information about Sg Lembing (kuantan). This is my 1st time there but wish to know more about the type of activity over there.
Anyone here from Sg Lembing or Kuantan area?
Besides, I heard that there is a place to stay in... Tapis resort. Anyone got contact? or any other recommendation? thank you

Hi. This is what i found thru internet.
I am from Kuantan.

Gunung Tapis Park

About 16 kilometres away from Sungai Lembimg is Gunung Tapis, a beautiful nature park. Excellent camping spots can be found in a number of areas. Although still in the early stages of development, Gunung Tapis offers a number of activities. You can shoot rapids on one of the several rivers, or fish for the delectable 'Ikan Kelah' (tortambroides duronesis). The park also abounds with hot springs and wildlife. If you plan to stay overnight, camping and survival equipment are recommended. Prior arrangements for a visit to the park can be made with the Sungai Lembing Tapis Resort.

I think you can find alot of info thru Pahang tourism website.. or simply just type Pahang accomodation/ attractions etc...

DO you have the contact for Sg Lembing Tapis resort? If yes, please do share with me... Thank you. As for the internet searching for Pahang accommodation, I failed to get the contact no online... except their old no @ 09-411339... which I think it's very old no..(if I m not mistaken, the phone no should have 7 digits. )

I will help you to ask my friends(from Sg Lembing)..

I found a blog from this person who is from Sg Lembing. You may have more idea about the food and living culture in Sg Lembing.

Accommodation not sure as we go for day trip.
Started early in the morning from KL and head down straight towards Bukit Panorama and climbed up at 5am.
Park the car at the few rows of shop and walk up the alley behind the shop.
Than we visited gua charas which is in a oil palm estate after breakfast at the market. There's lots of Buddha idols and Indian God's idols.
After that we head down to Sg Pandan Waterfall on the way back. Ask the ppl around for directions.
Bare in mind a lot of steps to climb.




btw, before I forgot....make sure car petrol is full as in Sg. Lembing we only spotted on petrol station if you want to refer that as "petrol station".



My whole collection (60 pics) is in my facebook:

Added on May 30, 2008, 9:45 amHey... Manja, where else would you suggest to visit @ Sg Lembing?

i been there before, if you dont have hiking experience.....
better go for relax mountain -> lembing mout...just take around 45min to reach peak.
Normally they start hike at 5.30am to wait the sunrise.

Gunung Tapis take the trip 2d 1n , camp in jungle if i not mistaken.
Beside hiking, you can go "rainbow waterfall".
Rent the Lorry or 4W to go in, and take around 45min jungle trekking to reach there. (Advice reach the waterfall before 10am, before 10am you can see the rainbow around the waterfall)

Last time i have visit a house, that house have alot crystal.
A couple (age groupd >50)staying there, private house.
You can visit him on sunday, he frendly~

Last time i stay in the town, just beside the food stall/hakka hall. One person around RM25.

Yo Karwaie,

Thank you for the great information. I will list it down and hope to visit all the places that you mentioned.

Besides, Im kinda confuse with the statement "Rent the Lorry or 4W to go in, and take around 45min jungle trekking to reach there. (Advice reach the waterfall before 10am, before 10am you can see the rainbow around the waterfall"

Is this mean, if we dont rent car, we need to walk for 45mins to reach to the water fall? Kinda confuse here.

Anyway, thank you for the info.

What he meant is you need to go in first by either 4wd vehicle or lorry which the road is jungle and muddy road.
Than after entering, will need to trek another 45 minutes to the waterfall.
Haven't been there yet...maybe next trip around.

Oh... trek for 45mins to reach there ya... anyone here know where and how much to pay for ? at least as a reference.

Thank you.

I grew up in Kuantan but unfortunately, I seldom go to sg lembing.

I'm going to sg lembing next weekend, we are staying in kuantan and drive to sg lembing early in the morning. Now, we are planning for the accommodation. I've been there 2 times, one is when I'm small and one is a few months ago.

Bukit Panorama!!!
A must in Sg Lembing for the sun rise and the sea cloud. Check out the pictures and you will know why.

Been to pandan waterfall, but never been to the rainbow waterfall which you need to take a 45mins 4WD drive to that place. I heard is nice. Pandan waterfall itself is quite good.


Teluk Chempedak is a famous beach in Kuantan besides another beach that have black sand. Teluk Chempedak is a place to go during the lantern festival. The whole beach is full of candles and lanterns "in" the sand. I would recommend that if you happen to go there at that time.

Oh ya, I found out this link during a google search http://www.showcaves.com/english/my/mines/SungaiLembing.html
I might contact them to let us visit the factory. I remembered that you need to have someone to bring you in to have a look in the factory for mining process and purifying process. I still keep some of the raw tin in my house during the visit when I'm small.

Besides that, sg lembing noodles, yong tou foo and also the biscuit with square sharpe (dunno what's the name) is also a must eat food. If you can, try visit the tradition bakery factory.

Added on June 6, 2008, 5:07 pmI have some material on this, will post it when I'm back after work.
If I'm not wrong, their advise for this waterfall is to go there the 2nd day after your visit to the bukit panorama for the sea cloud. Cause you can only see the rainbow at a certain time, and it clashes with the bukit panaroma sea cloud.

PS: Not everytime you go to sg lembing that you will be lucky enough to see the sea cloud, rainbow waterfal, sunrise or even the mining factory. It all depends on the weather. Better don't go there when there's a flood.

Hi Seowqj,

Thank you for the useful information on all the link and brief explanation given.
Really apppreciate it very much.

I do hope that I can keep this page for all the people that wish to visit Sg. Lembing in future. All the link below will actually give you enough information to go there and how attractive the place is.


Besides, I plan to go to sg lembing on this coming July.... what do you mean by "Better don't go there when there's a flood"? Hope that July would be the good time to go.


Thank you.


Regards,

cause if it is a raining season, u won't be able to go to sg lembing because of the flood. well, i will post this in my blog later.

the so called square biscuits are the coconut biscuits.. yes. is a must to have a taste on it. the price for the noodles and food are cheaper there as most of the customers are neighbours.. The noodles are different, called Lembing noodle. as this usually home-made by those living at Sg Lembing. You wont have the normal "yellow noodle" taste.. (the taste which some people dislike it).

Wow...I will try the noodle. Besides, do you think the name of the noodle is what they called as tomato noodle? mix with tomatos sos?
