TRAIN TO DABONG! 🇲🇾🚆 KTM Ekspres Rakyat Timuran 26up JB Sentral → Dabong

The Train to Dabong phenomenon has gained traction among local tourists and social media enthusiasts in recent years due to revenge travel in 2021, and the then-relatively-unknown unique experience Dabong offers. The journey to Dabong involves using the Jungle Railway through lush rainforests, quaint villages, and scenic landscapes, offering a tranquil and picturesque experience.

Dabong, though small and remote, is surrounded by natural wonders that attract nature lovers and adventurers such as *Gunung Stong*, a popular destination for hikers and climbers and home to *Jelawang Waterfall*, one of the tallest waterfalls in Southeast Asia, and *Gua Ikan (Fish Cave)*, a limestone cave known for its fascinating rock formations.

The rise of social media postings have played a significant role in "viraling" Dabong. Visitors often share their travel experiences, highlighting the scenic train journey, the off-the-beaten-path charm of the town, and its natural beauty. The train ride is also relatively affordable, making it an accessible option for many domestic and international travellers. Additionally, the train journey itself is seen as an adventure, offering a break from the hustle and bustle of city life.
