Road to Kuala Lipis...


Okay this post is intended for those that will be choosened to cover Kuala Lipis in the subsequent months.

To reach Kuala Lipis, take the MRR2 route to Karak Highway, pass by 2 tolls (first rm5, second rm3). Take the exit after the second toll (Bentong Barat) to head up to Bentong, then Raub before reaching Kuala Lipis. In Bentong and Raub, you actually need to pass through their town. I used my ASUS GPS running on Garmin software and map. It was superb... led me without any problems.

Total distance from KL is about 160km, will take about 2 and half hour...

The hotel to stay is Lipis Plaza hotel (tel 09-3125521, 3125588). Take the deluxe room, rm85/night. Ask for room facing the front instead of the back ones (facing jungle). The room 3-205 or 3-207 are the usual ones provided. If you are bringing your family... try their suite, only rm130-140... still fall within our budget for UD 41 officers.

There are free wifi in the hotel lobby, around KFC and somewhere near Central Hotel.

And bring your dvd player with lots of dvd's

Alrite then... good luck...
