| 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. |
