By car
From KL
From KL, take the outer ring road and head for the new Gombak - Kuantan Highway now open. From Gombak take the route all the way to the Lanchang exit. From the Lanchang toll exit, you will get to a T-junction. Turn right here. The signs to the Elephant centre will be very clear. there are also markings on the road, showing you the directions to the centre.
This will eventually take you through a small village passing a children's nursery on the right (taman kanak-kanak bimbingan) which leads to another small fork in the road where sits an orang asli (local indigenous people) settlement. There is a signboard at this fork, which informs the tribe's clan and population statistics. Turn right here and drive through a suspended bridge. Welcome to Kuala Gandah Elephant Centre!

A reader recently travelled to Lanchang by Bus from Pekeliling Bus Station and this is what he had to say:
'We also travelled to the Kuala Gandah Elephant Sanctuary by bus.... On the way we had no problems, arrived at Lancang and found a friendly local who was willing to take us there and back for RM40.- The problem came when we wanted to buy our return ticket to KL. Sold Out. Fully Booked! We had to take a local bus to Bentung, wait a couple of hours at the station and finally catch a coach to KL. The return trip took us about 6hrs! In your webpage, perhaps you could include a few words about buying a return ticket for those adventurous enough to visit Kuala Gandah by public transport' - 16th August 2005
