Kuala Lipis the little less know town in Pahang

Tuck in the center of the rain forest in Pahang, this colonial town was once the old capital and administrative center of Pahang state since 1880s till the1950s. Currently, Kuantan has taken over as the capital of Pahang.
Takes about 2 hours 30 mins drive from Kuala Lumpur to reach this scenic town via Karak highway passing thru other townships of Bentong and Raub.
Walk along the two main streets starting point from the Post Office until the Thean Hau Temple will just bring back old memories and colonial architecture of the past years.

Zero Miles Stone just next to the Post Office. This is the starting point where they measure distance to other towns
