Location: Bukit Keluang, Besut, Terengganu

The location is an ideal destination for holidays, family gathering, camping, outward bounds and nature lovers . Only an hour by road from Kota Bharu. To stay overnight, a resort is just a stone throw away. As a Geography teacher and interested in Morphology, the presence of an isolated hill with interesting rocks formation and features recall my interest to share.

On that very day, a photography session involving two newly wed couples in special attires struck my idea to have the same too.
