Kuala Gandah: Elephant Santuary

Kuala Gandah: Elephant ride!

If you like to take a ride on a real elephant, then you cant miss the elephant santuary located at Kuala Gandah. It can be reached by taking Karak Expressway from Kuala Lumpur (the same highway to Genting). Pay a toll in Gombak toll and another toll in Bentong. After that, drive along with East Coast Expressway and take an exit to Lanchang. Then take a right turn right after the toll. After that, follow the signboard to Kuala Gandah, which is located at remote area. It approximately takes about 2 hours plus drive from KL. The map below provides the direction/guidance to Kuala Gandah.
