| Taman Negara National Park in Pahang |
| Peninsular Malaysia's largest and most popular national park is TAMAN NEGARA, located some 250km northeast of Kuala Lumpur. Here you can find numerous rewarding trails that snake through some of the oldest rain forest in the world. To see the resident elephants, make a three or four day trek inland, or journey upriver to the remote camp of Kuala Keniam. The busiest place in the park is Kuala Tahan. Here you will find most of the accommodations such as resorts, hides and campsites. The park headquarters is also situated here. Staying overnight in the hides (tree houses beside salt licks) might give you the opportunity to see a mouse deer, tapir or wild ox. There are also over three hundred species of birds in the park. For a quieter experience, check out the Nusa Camp, 2km upstream, and the upriver camps at Kuala Keniam and Kuala Trenggan. The best time to visit the park is between February and October, during the "dry" season. Although the dry season might have a shower or two, during the wet season (mid-Oct to Feb), there may be restrictions to the trails or boat trips. |
About a thirty minute walk east of Kuala Tahan along the river on
the 'Bukit Indah' trail is the canopy walkway. Open daily from
11am-2.45pm, except Fridays from 9am-noon, the cost to walk the
canopy walkway is about RM5 a person. Only small groups of
people can gain access to the walkway at any one time, so there
might be a wait time. The walkway is a 450-metre swaying bridge
made from aluminium ladders bound by rope and set 30m above
the ground. It is reached by climbing a sturdy wooden tower and it
takes about thirty minutes to walk across. Once you are used to
the swaying of the bridge, it's a pleasurable experience taking in
the views of Sungei Tembeling (river) and observing the insect life
and tree parasites which abound at that height. Other species
usually visible include the grey banded leaf monkey, and the
white-eyed dusky leaf monkey.

Gua Telinga, is a small deep limestone cave in the park. In
theory it's possible to follow a guide rope through the
eighty-metre cave, but you have to be pretty small to get yourself
through the narrow cavities. Thousands of tiny round leaf and
fruit bats live in the cave, along with giant toads, black-striped
frogs and whip spiders (which aren't poisonous).

| Most people visit the "roaring rapids" of Lata Berkoh by boat, but you could walk the trail there and arrange for a boat to pick you up for the return journey. The final part of the trail runs north along the west side of Sungei Tahan before reaching the falls. The waterfall itself is 50m north of Berkoh Lodge. There's a deep pool for swimming, and you may see kingfishers, large fish eagles, bulbul birds and monitor lizards. |
