Endau Rompin National Park
|
Endau Rompin is the second largest National Park, after Taman
Negara. It covers an area of approximately 80,000 hectares. Rich
in animal and plant life, it gets its name from the rivers Endau
and Rompin, This place is huge.
The park is home to a vast range of species of birds, mammals,
frogs, insects and exotic varieties of orchids, herbs, medicinal
plants and trees. It seems that every time a scientific expedition
returns from Endau - Rompin, they discover a new species!
Regular treks through the jungle will give adventurers sightings
of leaf monkeys, long-tail macaques, white-handed gibbons,
elephants, deer, tapirs and the occasional tiger and leopard. For
adventure lovers and river trekkers, there are exhilarating rapids
and fairly substantial waterfalls.
To protect the pristine environment, only limited areas of the park
are open for ecotourism. Entry to the park requires a special
permit from the Johor National Park Corporation.
