Taman Negara Info

TAMAN NEGARA, JERANTUT, PAHANG.

Estimated to be at least 130 million years old, the rainforest that is Taman Negara is reputed to be one of the worlds oldest. This invariably means that the flora and fauna have evolved naturally undisturbed for millions of years.

Gazetted as a National Park since 1938, Taman Negara is Malaysia’s premier national park and the largest in the country. Spread over 4,343 square kilometers, this wild and virgin region is densely covered with ancient rainforest. Spanning the three states of Kelantan, Terengganu and Pahang, its protrusion into Pahang is the largest.

Previously known as King George IV National Park, Taman Negara is meticulously conserved and jealously guarded as it is among the last remaining frontiers of pristine rainforest. The park’s ecosystem is one of the richest and most complex ever to be found.

KUALA TAHAN.

            Trek into Malaysia’s largest natural attraction at Taman Negara. One of the most prominent entryway into this spectacular rainforest is via Kuala Tahan at Jerantut. Various accommodation options are available at this lush green village, ranging from budget friendly hostels to comfortable inns; with plenty of activities to satisfy even the most intrepid traveler.

LATA BERKOH.

            From Kuala Tahan you can take a leisurely 8 kilometers trip up to Lata Berkoh through the Tahan River. The waterfall offer visitors the invigorating experience of swimming in cool waters in a deep pool at the foot of the fall. Along the way, stop over at Lubuk Tenor, the sanctuary of the famed masher fish (ikan kelah).

A WORLD OF WILD BEAUTY.

            The biodiversity of Taman Negara is simply mindboggling!  The undulating terrain in the lowlands is the habitats of larger mammals, such as the elephants and seladang  (gaur). As for the bird, the park is a refuge for all inland forest birds that exist in the Malay Peninsula. More than 500 species have been identified, of which about 300 are known to be dependent on the forest. At least 54 birds are endemic to Taman Negara, including the Mountain Peacock Pheasant and the Crested Argus Pheasant.

WILDLIFE OBSERVATION.

            The myriad wildlife in Taman Negara can be observed and photographed from many observation hides (bumbun) built high above the ground. One of the most popular of such hides is the Tahan Hide, which is just five minutes walk away from the Park’s headquarters at Kuala Tahan. Other hides include the Tabing, Cegar Anjing, Belau, Yong and Kumbang.

RIVER TRIP.

            Take a trip along Taman Negara’s rivers ­– Sungai Tahan, Lata Berkoh, Sungai Tembeling and take in the sight of wildlife and the surrounding flora. The river trips here are extremely popular due to its languid nature that allow travelers to take in the sights, while covering the rainforest in the shortest amount of time.

RAPID SHOOTING.

            The adventure of the seven rapids takes place from Kuala Tahan and ends at Trenggan. The 9 kilometers ride in an open boat takes 45 minutes and be prepared to get soaked as you brave the rapids.

ORANG ASLI SETTLEMENT.

            Visit the friendly aborigine settlements and get a better insight of one of Malaysia’s indigenous people – the Batek. Example of such settlements are Kampong Yong and Sungai Tiang where you will see how the forest dwellers live and work.

            These people are nomadic by nature. Gain some insight into the life of the Orang Asli and see how they survive in the wilds for centuries.

TREK AND CLIMB AWAY.

            Trekking is the best way to immerse yourself in the wonders of Taman Negara, while a boat ride allows you to reach certain locations faster. Wander the well-marked trails around the park headquarters and brave longer ventures into the wilderness with a guide. Mountain climbers will also get a chance to scale Gunung Tahan (2,187 meters), with terrain that spans 27 hills and 7 rivers. The 55 km trail will take a week to complete.

KELAH SANCTUARY.

            The rivers of Taman Negara are abundant with as many as 300 species of exotic freshwater fish, including the famous kelah ( Tor embroiders ) or the Malayan masheer. The kelah prefers fast flowing and clear rocky brooks with deep dark holes. Specific breeding sites have been successfully established at Lubuk Lesung, Lubuk Nohong and Lubuk Tenor of the Tahan River where visitors can feed and touch them.

JUNGLE TREKKING.

            Jungle trekking offers many opportunities for visitors to experience first-hand the exotic beauty of nature at its best. There are many well-marked trails like the Tahan Trail, Trenggan Trail, Neram Trail and Teresek Hill loop. Each trail promises different adventures, yet all are equally fascinating. At the peak of Teresek Hill one can gain a clear view of the magnificent Gunung Tahan.
