A KTM train ride in Kelantan, dubbed “Train To Dabong”, from Tumpat to Dabong has surprisingly become a hit among local folks.

According to the Kelantan Tourism, Arts and Culture Ministry (MOTAC) director, Mohd Aidil Afizie Daud, the latest tourism product is also nicknamed “Jungle Train” because it passes through rural areas full of tall trees much like a tropical rainforest.
