Kenyir Lake (Tasik Kenyir) is a reservoir lake formed from the damming of the Kenyir River in Ulu (upriver) Terengganu, Malaysia

Tasik Kenyir and the mountains beyond

Understand

Kenyir Lake is very large and contains some islands. There is a breathtaking view from the top of the dam, and many visitors hire a boat to see the rest. There are also caves and a small waterfall nearby.

Because of Tasik Kenyir's inland location and moderate elevation above sea level, its climate is somewhat cooler and moister than on the seacoast.
