Taman Negara National Park
... local bus to Jerantut, we have to change a couple of times and it took us all day to reach Jerantut, the gateway to Taman Negara National Park. We missed the last boat and bus to Taman Negara so had to spend the night in Jerantut, was a very average town ...
Jungle boogie..get it on
The Jungle Express overnight (well to 2am) from Singapore to Jerantut for Taman Negara (literal translation is 'National Park') is much more 'Jungle' than it is 'express'. A few too many bugs onboard for my liking, but sitting in shitty economy gave me ...
And then he got leeched...
... water, jungle villages and the such. Turns out though, when we arrived at the main 'town' area across the river from the national park headquarters, that we weren't deep in the jungle at all, as there was a quite busy road connecting it with a whole ...
Leeches, Squirrels, and All Things Jungle I Hate
I'd heard about hides in the jungle, lookout points you can sleep in overnight and watch for animals, and I decided to hike out to one the morning after I arrived. I chose one far enough away to guarantee a remote jungle experience and made plans ...
Taman Negara
We have come to the end of our time in the beautiful rainforests of Taman Negara, but it has been fantastic! After being taken there by long wooden boats (similar to that which you would see Ray Mears travelling around the rainforest in) we checked in to ...
It's a jungle out there!
Taman Negara is in the heart of Peninsula Malaysia and is said to be the oldest rainforest in the world. After arriving in Jerantut by train from Singapore we had a short taxi ride to a jetty where we caught a narrow boat up to Taman Negara Park. The trip ...
Taman Negara (temporary placeholder)
Taman Negara National Park, like Thailand's Khao Sok National Park, claims to be the world's oldest rainforest. I don't know the truth of these claims, but both jungles did seem rather primeval. Taman Negara doesn't have nearly as much bamboo ...

Jungle de Taman Negara

Taman Negara – oldest jungle on planet
... infinitely. Luckily some dorm beds were left. I stayed in Liana Hostel with extremely helpful staff. Taman Negara is a large relatively isolated national park hosting allegedly oldest jungle on planet. The following day along with Eike, German long ...
We decided to do the shortest walk ...
We decided to do the shortest walk available, a 3-hour trail to the Canopy Walkway, followed by Bukit Teresek, a 343m high hill. Within the first hour, we spotted birds, butterflies and a plant that had blue/green irridescent leaves, i.e green from one ...
Tree Top Walk, Vipers and LEECHES!!!!

... roads to Tembling jetty, we made it onto the last boat of the day just in time. The 60 km boat ride into Taman Negara National Park was peaceful and relaxing, but within 2 hrs, our bums started to ache. We were partly sitting and partly lying back on ...
We caught a boat over to the other side of ...
We caught a boat over to the other side of the river and made our way to Gua Telinga - a limestone cave - this time with three 1.5 litre bottles of water. The bag was heavier but the cold water felt cool against our backs. Despite setting of at 9.40am, ...

... settled for some greasy noodles. I was then another 40 minutes on a bus to Kuala Tumbling where we got our permits for the national park and got on a boat. 3 hours later at 6pm we were finally there. We found a half decent guesthouse and ...
Day 100
Nic and I both have a good nights sleep apart from an alarm that never seems to stop starting at 5.30am and then the owner of the alarm slamming doors and banging into beds as i think he's about to start his shift in the place and isn't too happy at ...
The Oldest Jungle In The World
... a three day adventure into the jungle. And following a sugar loaded breakfast on the river we crossed over to enter 'Taman Negara National Park'. And so started a grueling 11km hike through thick, tropical rainforest towards our first nights stay. Just ...
Jungle Fever
... a trip hazard, providing us with much entertainment for the rest of the journey and in fact, for the rest of our 2 weeks in Malaysia! (must be the jungle fever). Usually the call of step came after one of us had tripped over something. Anyway, uneven ...
Jungle trekking
... until their heads are chopped. It's all so real it floors me and I feel so naive. To get to Taman Negara National Park, in the jungles of central Malaysia, firstly it was a two hour bus ride (freezing, as warned by Lonely Planet!) to Jerantut where I ...
Jungle Jaunts by Judith
Taman Negara is one of only two national parks in peninsular Malaysia. Logging and clearance for palm oil plantations have decimated Malaysia's rainforests. Although it is possible to catch a bus from the town of Jerantut to the park, we opted for the two ...
Melaka, KL, Cameron Highlands, Taman Negara
... is my indicator of a good trek (and Daryn’s indicator of a bad trek). From the Highlands, we set off to Taman Negara National Park for some more jungle hiking. Similar to South American standards, the park offered a mix of trails which were either ...
Anti-Climax Negara
... It was awesome. So had a very nice trip up the mountain to Jerantut where we would have to organise our own transport to the national park itself. We arrived up at Jerantut about 2pm and got pounced on by taxi drivers trying to take us up to the park for ...

Its a jungle out there
... that mosquitos prefer Asians, we had a reletively relaxed day. After breakfast, Jorge and I headed over on one the riverboats to the National Park entrance to find out about what sort of things we could do here, only to return and find that Hye-Young had ...
On the road (rails, water etc) again
... . It's a tatty, litter strewn village full of tatty backpacker accommodation. The best thing about it is it's separated from the national park by the river so the mess is contained. There is a smart well maintained resort within the park but it's beyond ...
Leeches
