Kenyir Lake has been a hidden gem enjoyed by only those in the know, with its bountiful offerings in the form of outstanding wildlife refuge, sparkling waterfalls, and unique floating sojourns that promise undeniably fun time in the great outdoors. Come monsoon season; this man-made lake even becomes a fantastic fishing spot for avid anglers in the hunt for trophy fishes. However, this nature lovers’ favourite sanctuary won’t remain a secret for long. Terengganu state government, through the Central Terengganu Development Authority (Ketengah), has launched Visit Kenyir Year 2021 or TMK2021, which highlights the diverse ecosystems of Kenyir Lake and its surroundings. Plenty of exciting events are scheduled to be held every month and a spanking new 150-room hotel along with a bigger duty-free complex are set to open on Pulau Poh at the end of 2021. As such, the state government aims for this up-and-coming destination to draw one million tourists to the area this year.
