3. Be caution that there is a huge hump right before the exit. After gate shown by the pic above.
4. Buckle up before leaving.

Depending on road conditions and traffic, it may take up to 2 hours to reach KK. Road conditions to KK was considered good and similar to Brunei roads with the exception of a few small bridges along the way and great mountain views.














Combination of straight roads, hill climb, patched up roads, winding roads, bridge crossings and railtracks crossings.
