Lenggong Valley by Jarek Pokrzywnicki

Just visited (March, 2016). Not an easy site to visit but not very difficult either. The whole site consist of two clusters located on both sides of Lenggong town, some 30 km north of Kuala Kangsar (KK).

From KK bus station there are frequent public buses to Lenggong town (first at 6.00 am, from 8 am to 6 pm every hour and the last one is at 7.30 pm). It arrives to Lenggong after 30-40 minutes. In Lenggong there are no taxis nor tuk-tuks so if you want to see the places around you can either walk or find someone with a car.

Lenggong Valley archeological sites consist of 2 clusters - to the south of Lenggong town, around 7 km - Archeological Museum, Cluster 1 - Bukit Bunuh, Kota Tampan) and three caves (Cluster 2), located north of Lenggong. For Archeological Museum (ask the bus driver to drop at the junction) you should leave the bus at Kampung Baru Kota Tampan from where there is around 1,5 km to the museum. The whole area around museum together with a viewing platform are within boundaries of Cluster 1, Bukit Bunuh. In fact the whole are is covered by palm trees - no signs of excavations are visible.

Cluster 2 (at least Bukit Kepala Gajat part is clearly visible from Lenggong town) is accessible from the town - no marked trails.
