Your travel planning should also be smooth and well organised so you can enjoy your holiday destination in an orderly and comfortable way. To save you the time spent researching, here we help you with the things you need to know before you arrive.
Traffic Conditions
Traffic conditions depend on the time you plan to travel. If you want to go on holiday during the school break, you should be aware that traffic will move more slowly than if you travel on an ordinary day.
In addition, you should also avoid travelling during the festive seasons, because many people plan their holidays during these times. During such periods, you may have to endure very heavy traffic, especially when an accident occurs.
That said, traffic conditions depend on the route you take. If you are coming from the northern part of Malaysia, you will pass through the village roads connecting the Nakawan Range and the Titiwangsa Range, crossing several areas before entering Jeli, the district on the Perak-Kelantan border.
If you are coming from the south, you will travel along the East Coast Expressway, and if you are coming from Terengganu and part of Pahang, you only need to pass through the village roads and the highway in Terengganu before arriving in Kelantan.
Accommodation
Before you come here, it is best to research and book your accommodation in advance, especially during the school break and the festive seasons. There are many apps and websites where you can search for the accommodation you want when travelling to Kota Bharu.

Weather Forecast
Some people may overlook this, but knowing the weather conditions of the area you want to visit is one of the important things when planning your trip.
Visitors surely want to travel with peace of mind, without having to worry about rain that falls frequently or extreme heat.
Among the times you should avoid are the monsoon season and the monsoon transition period. During these times, strong storms and frequent rain will make your holiday more difficult.

Vehicle Condition
When you are coming from afar and decide to use a private vehicle, you must make sure your vehicle is in good condition. This is to avoid being stranded by the roadside due to vehicle problems.
If you are coming by public transport, it is important to check the station where you will alight, the fares, and the public transport company.
To make sure the public transport you take is reliable, you can search online and read the comments left by previous customers. Make sure you choose a good public transport option that is suitable for the hilly areas there.
