Gerik To Pulau Banding Perak Cycling Route Map (48.0km)
Cycle Route: Gerik>Sungai Lebey>East-West Highway Monument>Pulau Banding.
The route goes along gradual slopes at Federal Route 76 and then onto tougher slopes along the East-West Highway. The tough slopes starts just after the Sungai Lebey R&R and ends just before the first bridge at Tasik Banding lake. The roads are quite narrow, especially at the East-West Highway with hardly any emergency lanes to ride one, so do listen out for heavy vehicles/trucks. Elephants are also known to encroach onto the East-West Highway, there are signboards along the way advising how to react in such a situation, please read and follow their instructions closely.
Distance: 48km. | Level: Hard
Climb elevation cross-section with a nett gain of 500 metres spread over 15km. A return trip from Pulau Banding would had been more difficult as this climb would have been spread over half the distance, i.e. 7.5km.
