GETTING THERE.

Started from K.L  we used the East Coast Highway and exit at Sri Jaya. After having our lunch at Sri Jaya we head to Gambang until we reach a junction where we took the  Segamat Highway toward Muadzam Shah. Drive straight for another 45mins, watch out for the sign to Tasik Cini and just follow the direction until you reach LAKE CINI RESORT.. Below is the map.  Or click MAP HERE.
Actually there is another shorter route getting to Tasik Cini , via  Kampong Belimbing ,and from there take a boat to cross the Pahang River then into the winding Chini River until you reach the lake. This route is not advisable cause at the jetty where you take the boat, there is no proper place to park your vehicle, the place is semi forest, totally inhabited and secluded. And secondly on your return trip back to the jetty you might run risk of not getting any boat due to low tide, so you will practically stranded in the forest for the night!
