KUAH TOWN Undoubtedly the busiest place on the island, its name means ‘gravy’. If you follow the story behind Gunung Raya and Mat Cincang Mountain, Kuah arose because of a pot of spilt curry from the battle between two giants. Visitors flock to the town to purchase tax-free goods, and which is also a hub of commercial activity with luxury hotels, business complexes, banks, small emporiums and large shopping malls that litter the landscape.
THE TEMURUN WATERFALLS are conveniently located in the Mat Cincang Nature Park of Datai, offering ‘hot’ visitors refreshing mountain water to cool off. The waters cascade down a 30-meter (98 feet) drop, forming a natural pool below to swim in. These spectacular waterfalls are well worth a visit.
