Day 139
This is a top pick! We all woke around 10am and prepared to leave the hide. The light was already illuminating the hide since there were no windows you could close just the viewing gaps. Breakfast was some rolls and then we were off to our next destination - a hut! The hut ...

This is a top pick! ... who had been in the same guest house as me in Melaka so I said "Hi". Christian is French-Vietnamese and we wondered away from Jerantut bus station in search of a hotel for the night - it was already 8pm! As we approached our favoured choice for hotel a ...
Breaking Beds in Jerantut
This is a top pick! ... was well worth it but in hindsight, one night could of been enough. I travelled on Transnasional's bus from Malacca to Jerantut, taking about 4.5 hours. I arrived into Jerantut just after 8.30pm. After checking into my RM15 a night single room with ...
Hurdling Workout in Taman Negara
This is a top pick! After yesterday's 6 hour trek through Taman Negara's Keniam Trail, I was beginning to feel the effects. However, after a few exercises and a hearty breakfast of 2 minute noodles I was ready to go again. I was rearing to go... but the other 4 were quite ...
Day 140
This is a top pick! We woke a bit earlier today given that we slept on concrete with no walls to separate us with the rain forest and all its creepy crawlies! Breakfast was rice pudding though the utensils and plates were still stinking of curry but never mind! We had ...
Rumble In The Jungle
This is a top pick! ... leopard cats out of the bushes - by throwing rocks into the bush, they've a very high regard for their native animals in Malaysia! After a good nights sleep, we were up early the next morning to catch the 8am riverboat back to Jerantut, then a 2 and a ...
A Cultural Insight
This is a top pick! ... We boarded a short boat back to where we began at Kuala Tahan and I had about 5 hours there until the coach back to Jerantut. Kuala Tahan's facilites were basic but I found a cold shower, and rinsed my shoes of all the mud but they absolutely stink ...

Not another river crossing!
This is a top pick! ... and battled to keep my eyes open the whole way. I was the only one on the bus as well. It is low season here in Malaysia so the tourist sights are quite empty (and cheap). I arrived at the jetty at 8.30am and had a personalised briefing from one of ...
Relaxing in Jerantut
This is a top pick! After a three day, two night cultural and physical trek through the rainforest of Taman Negara, I have arrived back in Jerantut for 1 night of recuperation before heading to Kuala Lumpur tomorrow. I can't wait to write about the last three days because ...
Being robbed.
This is a top pick! If anyone is going to Jerantut (note: Hotel Sri Emas), please be careful. As I mentioned in a previous entry, I have had my first bit of trouble here. The hotel offers a storage room to put all of your supplies. It is partly my fault as to what ...
Jungle Fever
This is a top pick! ... . You can trek through deepest, darkest jungle, brave the creaky canopy walk, shoot poison darts through a blowpipe with Malaysia's OrangAsli and explore stunning caves(according to LP anyhow). We stayed here for a couple of nights and spent a whole ...
Jungle Train
This is a top pick! ... Bharu to Jerantut (the gateway to Taman Negara) was 10hrs by jungle train, leaving at 06:00hrs in the morning and arriving in Jerantut after stopping at every single station on its way at 16:00hrs. It was cheap though at $3 each we couldn,t complain, ...
Crossing cultures
This is a top pick! 2nd March - Set off on yet another jungle trek. This one was 3.3km over flattish ground and we passed through a sort of village. This was even smaller than where we live at home - only one house! People live here temporarily to collect oil for the ...
Rain forest day 2
I give today a 3 out of five. I'm a little disappointed actually. To start with, we went on a hike to the top of the canopy where the suspension bridge is. The hike wasn't too bad, but we had to watch out for leaches. These ...
Jungle is Massive
... acceleration sends us hurtling along the tops of high ridges and over rickety bridges which span enormous Mocha coloured rivers. We arrived in Jerantut at around 3pm and checked in to the Kim Yen Hotel. By the time we had showered and eaten we both ...
Malaysia uncertain about it now.
... bitten all nite I wanted out of there the next morn. I have loved Asia so far so has everyone but since arriving in Malaysia it has been a shock of how different the culture is here and how slow backwards and expensive it is compared to the rest of ...
Bored in Jerantut
... boss if you are worthy of their ringgits... :)). Then you finally get your money and a receipt of exchange. I was bored in Jerantut. Went on an Internet for an hour and got caught in a rain afterward, so I spent another hour on Internet. That's ...
Me Manda, her Crean..
On the 4th we travelled from Melaka to Jerantut, the only cool thing about Jerantut was the Mee Goreng, the best I have had yet and my current breakfast favourite. Basically it is fried noodles with a bit of vege, some chicken and a whole lot of hot ...
Taman Negara

The Jungle of the Rain Forest
... it, so you will hear more about Project CocoBar soon! We, in the meantime, moved on, far from beaches to the interior of Malaysia, to be precise to Taman Negara, which just means, National Park. After a trip that seemed endless, hours in a bus and ...
On the move
... . Soon we began to see the vegetable and flower farms for which the Cameron Highlands are famous, producing all of Malaysia's vegetable requirements and most of Singapore's. The farms were small and perched on the steep banks of the hills, the ...
Jungle Fever
A mass of primary jungle over 130 million years old was our next draw. We scrambled over tree roots, under fallen trees and tried our hardest to avoid the leeches - they took a particular liking to Amy's white converse shoes, slithering through the ...
enter the jungle
... well most people know about the amazon and congo rain forest/jungle. but what about taman negara in malaysia and its counterparts in indonesia. its all same same, just a bunch of invisible lines anyways. well, according to some sources it is ...

Le centre de conservation des éléphants
Pour partir du parc nous prenons une pirogue « touristique » (il n’y a que des blancs), et nous descendons le fleuve au travers la jungle. Une belle ballade de 2h au court de la laquelle nous avons pu observer quelques beaux ...
Off into the Jungle
We got up at 4:30 am to catch the 6 am jungle train to Jerantut. We left Kota Baharu to take a couple days trek in the oldest rain forest in the world, Taman Negara. We arrived in Jerantu, the diving off town, after a very nice 8 hour train ride through ...
Things that go arghhhhh in the night (Nathan)
... punks in Thailand and waved farewell. After beans on toast and checking out we hopped on a mini bus headed for Taman Negara, Malaysia's largest national park. The bus ride was very long and tiresome, made worse by a long break in the middle of nowhere ...
