Welcome to Homestay Jelawang
Located 45 km from Gua
Musang, Homestay Jelawang is just a few minutes’ away from the tallest
waterfall in Asia, the Stong Mountains.
Having the Stong Mountains
as one’s own backyard, is certainly a refreshing experience. The cooling
mountain air wanders slowly to the village, and there is much to explore
for mountaineers’.
It is the many varied
activities here that capture the essence of the place; catching fish at
Kelantan River, climbing Stong Mountain, jungle trekking and visiting
the fruit orchard’s when in season. The villagers’ plant durian trees,
pineapple, duku, rambutan and bananas.
Sample too, the delicious
cooking by the villagers; spicy laksa, delicious pengat pisang and
cooling coconut drink. They’ll be delighted if you ask for seconds!
Warm and friendly
hospitality, wake up to the greatest sunset over the mountain tops, with
the call of the morning rooster. Join the village folk in their daily
routine, and try a hand at rubber tapping. Watch as the rubber sap
slowly falls, drop by drop to a plastic cup below.
Savour the moment, and
enjoy your time learning more of the life in the slow lane. Here, life
is run differently, offering a glimpse into a colourful Malay homestay
experience, away from the hustle and bustle of city life.
Jelawang

track" adventure - Gunung Stong State Park has the elements of an
exciting experience.
