About Besut

Besut, a lesser-known gem in Malaysia, is a must-visit destination for its laid-back atmosphere and breathtaking natural beauty. The iconic Bukit Besu waterfall, surrounded by lush vegetation, is a standout attraction that draws in nature lovers and adventure seekers. One unique experience that travellers love is the opportunity to witness the majestic hawksbills nesting at the Pantai Rhu village, showcasing the region's unique ecosystem. The best time to visit Besut is during the dry season from April to September, when the weather is cooler and the waterfalls are at their peak. For first-timers, a practical tip is to rent a 4x4 vehicle to navigate the rural roads and explore the surrounding countryside, which offers stunning views of the coastline and surrounding hills.
