Getting to Kelantan

BY ROAD


There is an excellent network of roads linking major towns in Peninsular Malaysia to Kelantan. From Kuala Lumpur, the overland route takes one eastward along the Karak Highway to Kuantan in Pahang, a journey of about 3 hours.
The rest of the journey from Kuantan to Kota Bharu takes about 5 hours. The route heads northward along the coast passing through picturesque villages providing scenic vistas of palm-fringed beaches overlooking the azure waters of the South China Sea.
The inland route to Kota Bharu turns off the Karak Highway at Bentong and proceeds northwards to Raub and then to Gua Musang, and Machang before reaching Kota Bharu. An alternative route exits the Karak Highway at Temerloh and passes through Jerantut, Benta and Gua Musang en-route to Kota Bharu.
From Penang, one has to get to Grik via Sungai Petani in Kedah and then travel along the scenic East-West Highway to Jeli in Kelantan before continuing the journey to Kota Bharu.
There are regular air-conditioned express bus services operating from Kuala Lumpur and major towns to Kota Bharu.
