Jajahan Gua Musang (Jawi: ڬوا موسڠ ) terletak di selatan negeri Kelantan Darul Naim. Jajahan Gua Musang dikenali jajahan pedalaman Kelantan kerana kawasan ini amat terpencil. Jajahan Gua Musang merupakan jajahan yang terbesar di Kelantan^[2].

Jajahan Gua Musang merangkumi 3 DUN iaitu Paloh, Nenggiri atau dulunya Bertam dan Galas (Bandar Gua Musang). Ahli Parlimennya kini ialah Bekas Menteri Kewangan Malaysia & Pengasas Petronas iaitu Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah.

Gua Musang is a town and territory (jajahan) in Kelantan, Malaysia. It is the largest district in Kelantan. Gua Musang is administered by the Gua Musang District Council. Gua Musang district is bordered by the state of Pahang to the south, Terengganu to the east, Perak to the west and the Kelantanese districts of Kuala Krai and Jeli to the north. It is a small railway town about 160 kilometers south of Kuala Krai. Gua Musang is represented by Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah in the Dewan Rakyat. The town lies on the railway line from Kota Bharu to Gemas.

A view of downtown Gua Musang (January 2009).

Gua Musang literally means "Cave of the Civet". On the eastern side of this town stands Bukit Gua Musang, a barren hill of rocks and deceptive stone-steps running 105 meters high. It stands in a commanding position, with a huge cave running into its interior and is about meters away from the other green tree-covered hills. From a distance, this hill looks like a stone pillar with a big crack which nearly splits it vertically into two equal halves. Between the hill and the town, there runs a railway track.

Merapoh - Taman Negara

Adventures in the Wild Jungles of Malaysia
(Taman Negara - the path least known)

misty mornings

After years of wanting to visit Taman Negara, I was lucky enough this time to hook up with two Malaysian friends who were just as eager to embark on a bit of jungle adventure. I have to admit that I probably wasn't fully aware of what I was getting into (which is a good thing or I would have missed out on this wonderful adventure). We set off by car and arrived at Taman Negara - Merapoh entrance. The idea was to enter Taman Negara from this entrance which has been far-less touristed than the Kuala Tahan entrance.

We waited around for our guide as it was Friday afternoon prayer time. I had to be reminded that people in the East Coast walk to a different beat to folks on the West Coast! We were then whizzed off on a 4-wheel roller-coaster drive to our base camp. Word of advice, if the driver asks you if you want to go on a roller-coaster ride, the correct answer is "No" unless of course if you enjoy having every bone in your body rattled and your knuckles turn white from trying to hang on for your dear life! Once we arrived at the base camp, we attempted to set up our tents (the guide and driver had left us for the night with promises to return to check up on us the next morning - we gathered they had great reservations about 3 city-slickers trying to rough it out in the great outdoors!).

Back to basics, and enjoying every bit of it!!!!

After struggling with our tents and finally getting them to stand up (somewhat)…it was time to take a bath in the fresh river running along the camp-site. I don't know about you, but being a true city girl I have never washed in fresh river water….let me tell you, 'What an experience!'. It was truly the highlight to my days in the jungle - there's nothing that quite compares to the exquisite, refreshing and totally invigorating feeling after bathing in clean, cool water listening to all of nature's cacophony. I think my two companions thought I had succumbed to jungle-fever with my obsession to the outdoor bathing ritual!

One of the things which made this whole experience so memorable was the feeling of going back to basics…where even a meal of Maggi Mee instant noodles tasted sooooo good (esp. when it took us 30 minutes to get the water to boil - there's nothing quite like anticipation to whet one's appetite!). We did nothing but sleep, eat, talk, bathe, talk, eat, sleep. No modern gadgets to entertain us- nothing but an appreciation of nature and the simplicity of nature.

We decided after some deliberation to move forward and were immediately spotted by the group of men who silently and very quickly walked away into the jungle. Our guides tried to appear calm and explained that the people we saw were the 'orang asli' (native/indigenous people) and were not poachers and were free to hunt in the jungle for roots and plants. We had our doubts about this 'story'/explanation. In the jungles of Malaysia and in Taman Negara poaching is still a very real and recurring problem. These poachers come into the jungle equipped with guns and ammunitions and sometimes move in fairly large groups. What becomes even more difficult for the guides who are locals (i.e. they live in the surrounding villages) is when the poaching is carried out by members in their villages who are friends, neighbours etc.

Gua Gajah (Elephant Cave) is quite a fascinating place….it's where elephants sometimes come to rest or take shelter. Inside the cave, there were evidence of elephant droppings and markings made by the elephants. After a short wander around the cave, we made our way back…dying for our very first taste of ice cold Coca Cola after our 4 days absence from civilization (once a city-slicker…). I had a brilliant time in Taman Negara and truly enjoyed the respite from the crazy, gadgety world we live in where our senses our constantly titillated (or numbed?) by mass-advertising campaigns and the media screaming out to us that if only we had XXX, we would find eternal happiness and bliss. It was refreshing to be able to be so close to nature and to remember that sometimes it takes very little to be happy.
