Looking for an adventure in a different part of the world is not
always easy. Having
Michael
as our guide gave us the opportunity not only to do
White Water Rafting,
Canyoning
&
Cave Exploration, but we also got a real sense of Malaysia
as a culture.
Taman
Negara National Park is one of the world's oldest
rainforests national park which stretching over an area of
4,343 square kilometers. The National Park covers three
important Malaysian states of Pahang (2,477 km), Kelantan
(1,043 km) and Terengganu (853 km) and located in the
center of Peninsula Malaysia. This is by far the Best-kept
Tropical Rainforest and the Great Natural Wonders of the
world.
Taman Negara boasts a famous ecotourism destination in the
country with exciting geological and biological
attractions include jungle trekking, climbing, night
safari, bird watching, boating, fishing, swimming,
photography and camping. This primeval rainforest is also
a home to numerous rare species such as the Indochinese
Tiger, Malayan Gaur, Sumatran Rhinoceros and Elephant.
With so much to see and do, other attractions found near
Kuala Tahan, Park headquarters for Pahang state, feature
the longest canopy walkway, visit Native Village, Rapid
Shooting and
Lata Berkoh (rapid).
Location
Taman Negara is located in Kuala Tahan, a National Park
Headquater. The Park is 260 kilometers northeast of Kuala
Lumpur and 280 kilometers west of Kelantan. Visitors can
access the rainforest by road and by boat.
Taman
Negara straddles the interior border regions of Kelantan,
Pahang & Terengganu, boasting a continuous
evolution history that spans 130 million years. Owing
to a state legislation in 1925,about
1,300 sq. km. of tropical jungle in its natural state
was designated the Gunung Tahangame
Reserve. In 1939, the three Sultans of the above-mentioned states
declared the area aNational
Park. It was renamed King George V National Park. Following the
nation's independencefrom the British
in 1957, the park was officially given the name it goes by now.
Gunung
Tahan (Mt. Tahan), The trail leading up peninsular Malaysia's
highest peak is 55 km. from the Taman Negara Resort. The
climb is strenuous and demands sound physical and
mental fitness.

We
went with Michael for a day trip to Taman Negara. We contact it them a
litle late during the Eid period and the national day but still Michael
have done everything to organize. He is the owner of the company and is
a very interesting person who share with us a lot of information about
Taman Negara of course but also all the specificity of Malaysia in
general.
The
day tour was great, doing difference sort of activities all the day:
canopy walk, trek in the rainforest, meeting local people living in the
forest, beautiful boat ride into the rainforest to a nice rapid were we
took lunch and we swam.
Michael
even booked a small room in a hotel in order for us to take a shower and
refresh before coming back to Kuala Lumpur.
Thanks
