| OBSERVATION
HIDE
Spend a night in one of the wildlife observation hides
and watch the forest browsers come to supplement their
mineral intake at the salt lick. These hides are scattered
around the Park, some can be reached by walking other
by boat. |
FISHING
Permits costing RM10.00 can be obtained at the Park
to fish in selected areas. The Sungai Keniam below Kuala
Keniam Kecil are the only approved areas for fishing.
The best fishing can be had during the drier months
of February to April and June to August. |
ORANG
ASLI SETTLEMENT
The Orang Asli of Taman Negara call themselves "Batek"
Some stay live a semi nomadic life within the Park and
their settlement can be found usually along some of
the forest trails or by the rivers. |
LATA
BERKOH
Lata Berkoh is an amazing cascade that marks the limit
of easy navigability on the river. A deep pool below
the rapid and a rocky area overlooking it offers an
ideal site for picnic. |
GUNUNG
TAHAN
Some 55 km from the Resort stands Gunung Tahan, Peninsula
Malaysia's highest peak. The Journey to the summit is
arduous and requires a good level of physical fitness
as well as the mental determination to succeed. You
do not have to be an experienced mountaineer or rock
climber to reach the top, however, if you are there
are some challenging faces to rest your skills. |
RAPID
SHOOTING
An exhilarating experience awaits you on the Sungai
Tembeling. Seven sets of rapids have to be negotiated
when traveling upstream from Kuala Tahan. Be prepared
for a through soaking. |
JUNGLE
TREKKING
Challenging treks of various durations promise a rewarding
genuine jungle adventure. Treks from a couple of miles
to one of nine days duration are possible within the
Park. |
CANOPY
WALKWAY
Let your spirit of adventure take you to new heights:
the canopy, which is the top layer of vegetation in
a forest. The world's longest such walk, it winds over
530 meters in the forest canopy allowing you to view
the rich and diverse flora and fauna at the very summit
of the forest, 45 meters above the ground. |
CAVE
EXPLORATION
Within a few kilometres of the Resort you will find
many limestone outcrops. Limestone often means caves
and Taman Negara houses many cave systems. Close to
the Resort are Gua Telinga (Ear Cave) which has a rock
formation like a human ear, Gua Kepayang and Gua Daun
Menari (the cave of the dancing leaves). Explore the
unique flora and fauna of a tropical limestone cave. |
NIGHT
JUNGLE WALK
Night Jungle Walk offers fascinating insight of richness
and diversity of micro fauna. Over 1000 species of butterflies
have been recorded in Taman Negara. |
FOUR
STEPS WATERFALL
The eastern flanks of Gunung Tahan and Gunung Gedong
drop off very sharply into the headwaters of Sungai
Tahan. One of the major tributaries in Ulu tahan plunges
and cascades spectacularly down the mountain side in
what is known as the Four Steps Waterfall. The waterfall
is some 50 km from the Resort. |
| TERESEK
HILL
To enjoy a scenic view of Gunung Tahan walk to the top
of Bukit Teresik. The canopy of the verdant valleys
below contrast with the summit of Gunung Tahan in the
distance.
