From KL via North-South-Highway; exit at Changlun to Kangar.
From Kangar on Road 7 direction Padang Besar. After about 7km turn right at Beseri at a large
T-Junction with Traffic Light; direction Mata Ayer. Shortly after crossing the Railway you reach
another T-Junction (about 2km from first junction; just after a bridge; there is a large cement
factory at the right hand side); here you head left direction Padang Besar. The crag appears at
the right hand side after about 300m, standing in a padi field opposite a Mosque. A small dirt
road directly leads to the foot of the rock, however, it is recommended to park the car further
away or at the main road and walk the remaining 100m by feet.

Thailand, exit at Padang Besar and hire a taxi to Tasik Melati/Bukit Keteri. However the local
train will stop at Tasik Melati itself.
