Taman Negara Plus Package

The journey begins as early as 0745 where you will be met at pick-up point (*) before embarking on a 4-hour trip to an inland town of Kuala Tembeling. Here, you will take a motorized longboat on a 3-hour ride to Kuala Tahan. Before that, please register yourself with the National Park and Wildlife Department. The longboat is scheduled to depart at 1400 (except at 1445 on Fridays). En-route you will be passing by local villages and lush tropical rainforest. Any sightings of birds, monkeys, monitor lizards or water buffaloes would be a bonus. Due to the dense and huge area of Taman Negara (4343 sq km), sightings of wildlife cannot be guaranteed.

After breakfast, jungle walk up Teresik Hill, which will take us further into the National Park. The guide will highlight to you the rich flora found en route. You will enjoy a panoramic view of the tropical rainforest at the top of Teresik Hill. On a clear day, see Mount Tahan. Experience going on one of the three canopy walkways in the world today, built 30 meters above ground and 480 meters in length. You will be able to experience the existence of the rainforest from a different perspective because you will be closer to the top of the trees instead of the ground! In the afternoon, we will go on another motorized boat ride to the cataracts of Lata Berkoh for swimming and relaxing. Enjoy the chorus and serenity of the aged but beautiful rainforest. Overnight.
