Karak (GPS: 3.41301, 102.03174) is a town in Pahang. It was the rest stop for motorists driving between Kuala Lumpur and the East Coast. Karak used to be the terminus of the Karak Highway, which has since been upgraded into the Kuala Lumpur-Karak Expressway (E8), and is now extended as the East Coast Expressway (E8) to continue all the way to Kuala Terengganu. Most of the traffic going to Karak continues on the East Coast Expressway (still E8) to the East Coast of Malaysia.
