JERAM BESU (BESU RAPIDS), PAHANG




Apart from Fraser's Hill, other recreational areas in Pahang include Jeram Besu. The rapid is just about three-hour drive from Kuala Lumpur. Jeram Besu is fast gaining popularity as one of the most challenging white water-rafting areas in the country.

The former is just 30 kilometres from Raub while the latter is only about 3 hours drive from Kuala Lumpur. Jeram Besu is fast gaining popularity as one of the most challenging white water-rafting areas in the country. Raub is one of the oldest towns in the State of Pahang. It began as a gold mining town in the early 19th century. Remains of its colonial past are evident in the old buildings scattered around the town.

Be prepared to get wet and get hooked to the adrenaline-pumping sport of river rafting/ kayaking!! You will be wanting to run the river over and over again. Bring home a healthy golden tan as well as the unforgettable feel of exhilaration when riding the Jeram Besu Rapids - which have been graded as high as a class 3 plus. Don't forget to have a look around as you raft down the river; get in touch with Nature... appreciate the picturesque scenes of flora along the river.

So, are you ready to go raft a river? All you need is a helmet, a paddle, a raft and a sense of adventure... and you are on your way!!!
