National Park (Taman Negara)

Taman Negara contains some of the oldest rainforest in the world and spans thousands of square miles of protected land. Its richly diverse fauna and flora have evolved over a staggering 130 million years. The best way to explore the diversity of plant and animal life is by ‘trekking’ along the jungle trails. Although seldom seen, a small population of nomadic Orang Asli people still live in the rainforest, their makeshift shelters appearing in places amongst the jungle growth. Besides trekking, the park’s other attractions are fishing, river rafting or bird watching and climbers can explore the Peninsula’s highest mountain, Gunung Tahan at 7,175ft (2,187m). The best time to visit the park is between March and September.
