The Second East-West Highway pierces the Titiwangsa Range through the Lojing Highlands, a sustained drive above the cloud layer past pristine rainforest and the towering Lojing Viaduct.
Route 185 crosses the peninsula’s mountainous spine from Simpang Pulai east to Gua Musang. The scenic heart is the Lojing Highlands, where the road runs through montane cloud forest with cloud-inversion views; the Lojing Viaduct’s tallest pillar rises 58 m. Continuous sharp bends on good asphalt through Orang Asli territory beneath Mount Yong Belar.
