Visiting en-route the spectacular Jelawang waterfall (Gunung Stong State Forest Park), one of Kelantan’s star attractions and allegedly the highest waterfall in Southeast Asia at a height of 303 m, taking a bath in the crystal-clear water of its natural rock whirl-pools after a steep climb through leech-infested rainforest and later soothing our feet in the 60-degree water of the reasonably clean Jeli hot springs
