Hentian Pekeliling Bus Terminal

Hentian Pekeliling is over 20 years old and is basically a simple bus station where you can go to the major towns of Pahang. One or two companies also go to Kuala Terengganu, Genting Highlands and Gua Musang. It is located at Jalan Pekeliling Lama and just beside Vistana Hotel. Getting here is easy as it is within walking distance from Titiwangsa Ampang Line LRT and Titiwangsa monorail station. This terminal really needs some upgrading to keep abreast with the changing times.

The waiting halls have no air-conditioned, only fans are provided. In a hot day, you will sweat while waiting for the bus. Fortunately, all the buses are fully air-conditioned.

There is a taxi stand here for you to have the option of going to various parts of the city without having to wait for another bus. Rapid KL buses are also available for you to go to your next transit.

Of particular interest is Jerantut as this town is the gateway to Taman Negara. Those who are taking a boat from Kuala Tembeling will take a bus from Jerantut to Kuala Tembeling jetty before taking the 3 hours boat ride to Taman Negara. If you prefer not to take the scenic boat ride, you can take a bus from Jerantut directly to Kuala Tahan where the base of the National Park is.

Genting Highlands buses are also available here. The cost of the ticket is RM6.60 one-way.
