Travel Blogs from Taman Negara, Malaysia
Taman Negara National Park - The jungle!
This is a top pick! ... days, the weeks, you rarely know what bloomin' month it is. Turns out, it's mayday bank holiday. And so, when we arrived at Taman Negara there were scores of coaches and cars lining the long road leading to the park. Not to worry, I thought. We called ...
Huffing and puffing through the oldest rainforest
This is a top pick! ... of mice in the roof above us! On Wednesday, we decided to take things easy. We visited the canopy walkway, Taman Negara's showcase attraction. This simply constructed suspension bridge, slung from tree to tree about 25 metres above the ground, is ...
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 ...
Walking on Tree Tops
This is a top pick! With national park permit in hand I crossed over the river by the little boats shuttling people back and forth and set out into the 130 million year old rainforest in search of it's innumerable wildlife and creepy-crawlies. Actually I won't mind missing ...
Jungle Train
This is a top pick! ... I was prodded awake by my requested wake up call to get the bus to Gua Musang to start the indirect journey towards Taman Negara National Park. There was only one other person making the journey today, Janet from New Zealand meaning we had more than ...
Firestarter
This is a top pick! ... would be quite a touristy visit to one of the Orang Asli villages near here who are the indigenous minority peoples of Peninsular Malaysia with the name meaning 'original peoples' in Malay. Being talked into it by Janet I went along with almost writing it ...
Rainforest Experience
This is a top pick! Taman Negara is an enormous tract of virgin rainforest located in the middle of the Malaysian peninsula. To get there we take a huge Mercedes Benz bus from KL to the boat jetty in Tembeling village. From here its a 2hr journey by sampan, a long narrow ...
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! ... 're beautiful animals, but that appeal would've been lost had one leapt on us and tore us to shreds, obviously. That night in Taman Negara, we'd booked a jungle safari on a 4WD jeep, no more walking in jungles for us. It was fun, although we didnt see ...
The Jungle Train and a trek
This is a top pick! ... stay and went to watch the Malaysian Grand Prix. The following morning we jumped onto a boat and headed up river into the Taman Negara National Park, one of the oldest rainforest jungles in the world, 130 million years old. We were told that there had ...
A Cultural Insight
This is a top pick! ... old... pretty impressive. Even though this trek was physically demanding, I loved it. It was great to experience the 'real'Taman Negara with a great group of people and energetic guide. Integrating a cultural element made it so much more special, ...
Day 138
This is a top pick! ... bus ride to Jerantut's jetty and then a very enjoyable 2.5 hour boat trip up river to Kuala Tahan (the headquarters town of Taman Negara National Park). I'd seen some maps of Kuala Tahan and had been fooled into thinking that it was a decent size place ...
Not another river crossing!
This is a top pick! ... thereafter! After about 3 hours, we arrived at Kuala Trenggan: the starting point for our 6 hour trek through a very difficult Taman Negara rainforest. After about 1 hour of mud, water and beautiful rainforest, we arrived at a run down hut with ...
Jungle Fever
This is a top pick! ... had travelled all the way from Kota Bharu to Taman Negara in the same day thanks to some organized guest house in Jerantut. Taman Negara is awesome, the stuff of legends. A mass of primary jungle over 130 million years old, the park sprawls 4343sq ...
Caveman Davey
This is a top pick! Arrived in Taman Negara too late to do anything significant except find out info on what to do for the next few days, so i went to the park office to do just that. Watched the Parks video about all the great stuff you could (but never will) see whilst ...
Taman Negara National Park
This is a top pick! Wow, what a hot and sweaty few days we have had. We ventured into Malaysia's largest national park Taman Negara (reputedly the oldest rainforest in the world) after the bus left us at what it probably the worst cafe in Malaysia. I won't disgust you with ...
Brown water rafting in the jungle
This is a top pick! 28th Feb - An early start saw us catch a bus from Kuala Lumpur to the center of Malaysia and the national park of Tamen Negara. On the way we stopped for refreshments - one of those strange occurrences where you order a banana and get two cups of coffee ...
Taman Negara - Ancient Rainforest.
This is a top pick! Where can you find a rain forest over 130 million years old that is accessible? Taman Negara in Malaysia is where, and this is to be our final very exciting part of our 2008 travels. To get there involved a journey by bus from KL then travelling in a ...
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 ...
Tarzan and Jayne
This is a top pick! Taman Negara. During our search for things to do in Malaysia we were told that no matter what we should not miss Taman Negara. Being pretty easy going folks thats usually all it takes to send us off in any given direction. Once we started looking into the ...
Into the jungle!!!
This is a top pick! On the road again bright and early, we started the long trek across central Malaysia to the Taman Negara National Park made even longer as we hit the school run which meant we stopped every 100m or so! Excellent! Our tummies had been nicely gratified ...
One of the oldest jungles in the world
From Kuala Lumpur we headed to Taman Negara. The journey there was a little disappointing because for the majority of the way all the natural landscape had been destroyed and replaced with palm and rubber plantations, which continue as ...
Breaking news!
... & wild animals. The four, all male, thought to be in their mid to late twenties were last seen wandering into Taman Negara national park with in-adequate supplies, inappropriately dressed & clutching a map which appeared to have been drawn by a ...
Spiders, and civets, and snakes! Oh, my!
After the good food and relaxation in Melaka, we headed for Malaysia's central state of Pahang, home to Taman Negara, the world's oldest rain forest (coming in at an impressive 130 million years old). Our minbus dropped us off in the small town of ...
Taman Negara
... ride over who decided to join our fun for the next few days. We arrived at Kuala Tahan which is the base camp for Taman Negara. It covered with floating barge restaurants, small fishing boats/water taxis, and guides ready to take you on an adventure. ...
