| A
Night in The Hide (Taman Negara)
It is well worth spending a night in one of the wildlife observation
hides, even if only to sample the rich variety of forest sounds.
All except Bumbun Cegar Anjing are built overlooking saltlicks,
where plant-eating animals come to supplement their mineral
intake.
A
Visit To Orang Asli Settlements (Taman Negara)
"Orang Asli" simply means "native people"
in the Malay language. The Orang Asli live a nomadic lifestyle
in Taman Negara, calling themselves Batek. The Batek are a
race of people, gentle, short in stature, dark-skinned and
with tight curly hair. Their settlements are found along the
trails. Some settlements are accessible by boat.
Cave
Exploration (Taman Negara)
Gua Teliga (Ear Cave) has rock formation in the shape of an
ear. Gua Kepayang and Gua Daun Menari (Dancing Leaves Cave)
are some of the few limestone outcrops that you can explore
along with animals and insects that live in the caves.
Fishing
(Taman Negara)
Fishing is one of the main attractions in Taman Negara. Fishing
permits issued to visitors cost RM10.00 per rod and apply
only to the waters of Sungai Tahan below Lata Berkoh and Sungai
Keniam below Kuala Keniam Kecil. Fishing tends to be best
in the drier months of February to April and June to August.
Shooting
The Rapids (Taman Negara)
Travelling upstream on Sungai Tembeling from Kuala Tahan is

as the boat has to negotiate 7 sets of rapids. The journey
to Kuala Trenggan takes about 45 minutes.

334 metre hill can be reached within 45 minutes.
Lata

Negara) A
spectacular cascade that marks the limit of easy navigability
on the river. There is a deep pool below the cascade and a
rocky area overlooking the rapids. An ideal site for a picnic.

challenge that demands physical fitness and intense willpower

Steps Waterfall (Taman

eastern flanks of Gunung Tahan and Gunung Gedong drop off
very sharply into the headwaters of Sungai Tahan. One of the
tributaries in the Ulu Tahan plunges and cascades spectacularly
down the mountainside in what is known as the Four Steps Waterfall.
