Taman Negara

Very wonderful biodiversity..rich with experiences.. more adventurer for outdoor lover..

Very disappointing. Being that this forest is the oldest in the world, I was excepting to see wild animals. The only slightest reminder of wild life was a garden snake and wild boars. Plus the food in the area is also not the best.

Sorry if it's irrelevant to the current situation, but I would like to give my review based on our (my husband and I) visit to Taman Negara in 2009. This isn't a blogspace I know, but I decided to give my review while sharing my story. If you are planning to go there and camp, please get yourself fully prepared. Nowadays it's easy to get camping gears because of Decathlon and Shopee (not a Lazada fan, sorry). Back then, it wasn't this simple. We visited Taman Negara with the intention to hike and camp but it didn't turn out well. Despite that, it was one of the most memorable camping trips ever! I probably don't have to tell this, I'm sure everyone knows. However, it may be useful for beginners. Wear proper attire, waterproof if possible, wrap your clean dry clothes in plastic or bring waterproof bag. I used Deuter bag with that cute rain cover and it didn't help. Don't forget waterproof pouch for your phone, it's important! Laundry bags (plastic) will come in handy to pack your wet clothes. Be sure to check the boat timing so you won't miss any if you plan to go towards Kuala Terenggan by boat. If you wish to hike all the way, by all means... please do ;) When we reached Bumbun Kumbang , we were soaking wet because we had to cross a few streams and it rained a little bit. There were foreigners (I think there were 5 of them) and 2 Aborigine guides who arrived earlier and were resting. Our timing was just nice, as we reached there before the sun sets. Our new friends (I prefer to call them friends than foreigners) and the guides were very helpful and friendly, we were so blessed! That night, we had our meal and went into our tent to sleep. Not long after, our new friends told us we should join them in the hide above instead of sleeping in the tent on the ground. I think the guides mentioned something about hearing elephants nearby. Scared to death, we quickly packed our stuffs and climbed the stairs to join them in the hide. The hide wasn't comfortable, but it's definitely safer. My husband accidentally knocked his head while entering the hide. It has something to do with the design of the entrance and it was dark. So please be careful. All of us waited by the window to watch for the elephants. We heard movements but couldn't see anything. It was a great experience, looking out for wild animals from a hide in the middle of the night with new friends. If you are lucky, you may see them. We slept well that night because we felt safer and definitely exhausted. The next morning, our new friends invited us to hike towards the caves, but we had to decline as we had to cut our trip short. We started hiking towards Sungai Tembeling to catch a boat. In the morning, there were many leeches attacking so be prepared for this. Repellent would help. We waited quite some time for the boat. While waiting a lovely and friendly Canadian lady joined us too. We took a boat and stopped at Nusa Camp. You have to cross a short hanging bridge to go there. I am not sure if the place still exists to be honest! From Nusa Camp, we had to leave as our new friend Jennifer wanted to stay there. We exchanged emails and still friends until today. We wish that we were more prepared so we didn't have to cut our trip short. There are many things to enjoy, and do in Taman Negara. To all nature lovers, pack your bag and head there!

The best place for forest bathing.If you hunger for an adventure,the smell of wet earth..this is the correct place!Peoples are so kind, generous and the facilities also very good?Please support local!

My favourite nature getaway in West Malaysia. It is a gem for those nature wildlife observers, with tours and accomodation is available. e.g. Mutiara Taman Negara would be suggested for those looking for comfortable stay with or without family as this 90+ chalet resort is just within the rainforest. Even in the resort you get to see lots of species of plants insects and others.

Welcome to the jungle! Beautiful, Oldest rainforest in the heart of Malaysia. Can be reached by boat. What really surprised me was the noise of the woods! Insects, spiders, snakes ?

Gunung Tahan.... Highest Peak in Peninsular Malaysia.... Advise to take minimum 5days 4nights hiking trip, not to over stress our body & muscles, relax & enjoy the scenery along the journey.....

Went to taman negara on 15,16, and 17 January 2022. I stayed in Danz Eco Resort and we choose glamping for the accomodations. The package was so good which include activities and food during our stay. The host mr rashdan was so friendly. Activities include night safari, hiking to teresek hill and canopy walk, orang asli village visitation, and rapid shooting. Add on activities that you can choose is a trip to lata berkoh. This one i did not join as i prefer to just sit around at the resort. Glamping tent was spacious and simple but the only thing that troubles me is the mildew spot on the tent. The rest was good. Toilets were clean and the dining area was so cozy. You can see the giant tualang tree in the middle of the dining area. Overall i was having a very good time during my taman negara trip.
