You'll pass a few small towns of Lubuk Merbau, Kati, Sauk before reaching Raja Muda Nazrin bridge. Right after the bridge, take a left turn and you are now in Tasik Raban.

Before the completion of the new highway, Tasik Raban used to be the stopover for those travelling from Kuala Kangsar to the East Coast. There's a R&R right before the bridge, but some people still prefer the old Tasik Raban.
