How to get there
Take the Plus North South highway, and get out at the Sungkai toll plaza. Driving out from the toll plaza, you should be able to come to a T-junction. Take the left turn towards Trolak. After driving about 500m from the T-junction, you should come across a turnoff on your left. Be very alert as this turnoff is very sharp and difficult to spot if you are travelling too fast. .Once you are in the turnoff, there are many signboards that will lead you to the place. The park is a fair distance in(about 15 km) and the road is narrow in some places. This road is okay for travelling but some parts are dangerous."<
