Views from above the Karak highway

Peace be upon you all. Its been more than 2 weeks since I made the last posting, the 292nd here. About eleven days ago, me and wife took the old road from Kuala Lumpur to Pahang to get to Raub. After a certain point, the tight small road rose significantly above the Karak highway. Here are some photos...

I started taking pictures upon seeing the Karak highway from this point...


There, this part of the highway should be a good 50 metres below us...

This is the point...


Slightly further is this tip of a hill... I think this should be the highest accesible point off the old road.



A view of our car from on top...




The transmission tower above...





Time to get to the hill-side.






On to a superb view of the Karak highway. Just look at the way it weaves in and around the main range!

At its highest point, the highway is located more than 400 metres above sea level. The point where we took these pictures from should be another 50 to 100 metres higher!


There, a look directly down. That should be equivalent to looking down from a 30-storey building or higher...





Then we spotted this part which should be another 15 metres higher...





Too bad, the way up is not clear. So enough for the day...
