Malaysia’s Jungle Railway, often referred to as one of South-East Asia’s most scenic rail journeys, takes its name from the dense tropical rainforest it cuts through. This railway line, stretching from Gemas in Negri Sembilan to Tumpat in Kelantan, was constructed during British colonial rule, with some sections dating back to the early 20th century.
On the next day, we embarked on a six-hour train ride to Kuala Lipis, another town brimming with history. Once a gold-mining centre and the capital of Pahang during British rule, Kuala Lipis has retained much of its colonial charm. We also took the opportunity to visit an old cemetery which housed many British Veterans who died during WWII and during the emergency in Malaya. One of Radzi’s colleagues who has a friend writing a book on British war heroes was adamant to find the grave of one “Richard Bentham Dixon”.
The next day we had a six-hour train ride to get to Tumpat, the final station. My sister quickly found a local stall selling traditional Kelantanese kuih, and we indulged in kuih akok and kuih bahulu, both sweet and rich in flavour. From Tumpat, we took a car to Kota Baru, where we were excited to visit Singgora Homestay, a peaceful retreat in the heart of the forest.
