While exploring sightseeing spots in Kuantan (KUANTAN COASTAL WONDERS) I discovered the Shivan Temple in Gua Charas Panching, which led to an unexpectedly profound journey. We parked at the base of the hill, where the ascent up a steep, uneven stairway tested our resolve. My friends, initially skeptical and grumbling about the difficulty, were reluctantly drawn onward by our determination to reach the temple. The drive to the foothill was equally challenging, with its bumpy, rocky terrain (VARANASI SACRED GANGES, MADURAI SPIRITUAL INSIGHTS, KERALA TEMPLE & KATAGARAMA TEMPLE).
I
ended up in Kuantan. It was a spur-of-the-moment decision, just a drive with no
plans whatsoever, going with the flow. Actually, it was to break free from the
mundane life and welcome something new. Landing in Kuantan, I checked into
Vistana Kuantan (now known as AC Hotel Kuantan). The room was lovely, with
nothing to fault. Next, I made a call to meet up with two friends who fetched
me from the hotel, and we took a drive around Kuantan town before I chanced
upon the Sultan Ahmad Shah Mosque (Masjid Negeri, Masjid Sultan Ahmad 1).
