@thetravelintern We bet you didn’t know this place existed in Johor Bahru 🤫 Hidden just 30 minutes from JB Sentral, Tasik Biru (Blue Lake) is a breathtaking hidden gem that looks straight out of a dream. But this stunning view doesn’t come easy — you’ll need to take a short hike to reach it! 🥾 🏞 What to Expect: – A scenic 30 – 40min hike with rewarding views – Crystal-clear blue waters surrounded by cliffs – A peaceful escape away from the city 📍 How to get there: Drive or take a Grab to Taman Awam BBKP in Kangkar Pulai. There’s no trail head but the hike begins from the carpark with two route options varying in difficulty. *Pro-tip: Be sure to wear proper footwear, bring water and apply sun protection! #sgtravel#jb#kangkarpulai#bluelake#johorbahru♬ blue – yung kai
