Jelai river near Pos Betau

Continued from Lipis river at Batu Malim.

From Batu Malim I continued up north to a place called Kuala Medang where lies a rather long bridge crossing the river Jelai. Look at the old article Foray to idyllic Kuala Medang in Pahang.... Then I  turned back about 10 km to Sungai Koyan where lies the latest road going up to the resort area of Cameron Highlands, up the main mountain range of Banjaran Titiwangsa. Taking the road for the first ever in my life, I soon arrived near the Orang Asli (aborigine people) settlement of Pos Betau and stopped at this bridge.

I found out the bridge crosses the river Jelai which forms the river Pahang. This should be a look upriver.

As usual I would take in views from both upriver and downriver directions.

This should be the view downriver. My calculation using the satellite pictures in Google Earth showed the river twisting and turning for about 25 km before it is joined by other tributaries near Kuala Medang.
