Ulu Kelantan is an informal name for the southern, and once very remote, region of the state of Kelantan. Though now opened up by roads and planted with newly developed rubber and oil palm plantations, the area is still sparsely populated.
Nature is a prime asset.
Much of Ulu Kelantan is still covered in forest, and a quarter of Taman Negara is situated there. Gunung Stong Among the unique attractions of Ulu Kelantan is the magnificent Stong Waterfall, flowing from the three adjacent peaks of Gunung Stong, Gunung Ayam and Gunung Saji. The waterfall is possibly the highest and certainly the most spectacular in Peninsular Malaysia. It cascades down sheer granite walls, and it can be seen from many kilometres away. Until recently, Stong Waterfall was unheard of due to its difficult access.
