The highlight of the ‘off the beaten path’ tour was the visit to the confluence of the Jelai and the Lipis rivers. The difference in the colours of the waters that separates the two rivers could be seen here.

The city has a ‘forgotten’ feel about it and since the re-siting of the state capital to Kuantan it seems that visitors seldom stop here so, once again our white faces are in the minority. It’s not a bad place though and well worth the one and a half days we’ve spent here.

When you reach Kuala Lipis, i strongly recommend you to try out some good foods around Lipis especially at the Hawker centre. There are variety of good foods at there.
