Gunung Stong State Park

Gunung Stong State Park is a 21,950-hectare protected area in Dabong, Kuala Krai District, Kelantan, Malaysia. Centered on Mount Stong (1,422m) within the Titiwangsa Range, it is known for Jelawang Waterfall, one of Southeast Asia's highest waterfalls, plus peaks Gunung Ayam and Gunung Baha, limestone caves and lowland dipterocarp forest. The park offers jungle trekking, camping and caving and is managed by the Kelantan State Forestry Department.

Visitors can expect a remote rainforest park with dense dipterocarp forest, rugged mountain trails and river valleys. The main draws are Jelawang Waterfall (303m), the summit trail to Gunung Stong, and nearby peaks Gunung Ayam and Gunung Baha. Areas include campsites, forest trails, limestone caves such as Gua Ikan, and viewpoints over the Dabong valley. Activities are nature-based and require walking on uneven, steep terrain with guide assistance for longer treks.

Part of the Gunung Stong Forest Reserve, the area was gazetted as Gunung Stong State Park in 2005 covering 21,950 hectares to protect its montane forest, watershed and biodiversity. The park encompasses historic forest trails and limestone caves long used by local communities and later developed for eco-tourism by the Kelantan State Forestry Department.

The park lies within an area inhabited by Temiar Orang Asli communities and is associated with local Kelantanese folklore surrounding Mount Stong and Jelawang Waterfall. It is valued as a natural heritage and eco-tourism site for Kelantan.
