Visit to Gua Charas in Kuantan

The last stopover we had was at Gua Charas to see the Sleeping Buddha. Gua Charas is located nearby Sungai Pandan Waterfall, on the way to Sungai Lembing from Kuantan.

There are some stairs climbing before you reach to the cave entrance. There's entrance fee of RM 2 for adult and RM 1 for child. Along the way inside the cave, there are many statues of Buddha and also Indian Gods.

It's very smoky inside the cave due to heavy incense burning. For kids who have asthma or difficult in breathing, it's best recommended to just view from the outside. However, there's a distance of walk from the entrance of the cave to reach to the Sleeping Buddha, hence you won't be able to see the Sleeping Buddha from the the entrance.

​Parking fee is RM 3 per car.

You may anticipate about 45 min - 1 hour for this visit, including all the steps climbing and picture taking. 

​Suitable Kids Age: 5 and above
