Take the road beside the library and then follow the trail to the top of the hill behind the town.
The misty morning when we arrived revealed pleasant scenes. There were busloads of tourists, and whole families were hiking up or down the narrow track.

My family has an organic durian farm in Sg. Lembing, Pahang.
All are welcome to our farm.
Bring along your whole family and we allow entrance into our farm for a minimal fee only.
You can pick up your own durians while sweating it out at our farm. Our farm is also located next to a forest reserve. Good place to explore, enjoy the fresh air and relax.
Recommended activity esp after your trek up the hill of Sg. Lembing.

Apart from Sg. Lembing’s museum, there are other nearby attractions as the area is endowed with mountains, waterfalls, and rivers. It is worth climbing Bukit Panorama, especially to see the glorious sunrise over the surrounding green hill slopes.
Many visitors come here just to do this, especially at weekends, and liven up the otherwise dead town. However logging activities are having a detrimental effect on the eastern hills of Sg. Lembing.
Some 16km from Sg. Lembing is Gunung Tapis Nature Park, where one can camp, fish, and shoot the rapids. Gunung Tapis itself is 1,512m high. On the way to Sg. Lembing is Gua Charas, a temple cave that is a popular tourist destination. Sungai Pandan Waterfall, 29km from Kuantan, is easily accessible from the road and is a nice place for a picnic.

Sungai Lembing town is very quiet now. Most of the residence are in their late 50 to 70. The younger generations have move to the big city for work and come for visit only in the weekend.

The Museum would be taking up most of the time.
What else could one do here ? Go to the jungle ?
There is a waterfall somewhere out there. But hey, I've got to run !
