All about the trip
This tour starts from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on a shared basis.
Taman Negara is a 130 million years old tropical rainforest, home of endangered mammals such as tigers, tapirs, elephants, sun bears, pythons, etc. 14,000 flowering plants, 300 bird species, medicinal and poisonous plants, not forgetting the elusive aphrodisiacs.
6.00 am - 6.30 am: Complimentary pick up from your Kuala Lumpur hotel. If your hotel provides breakfast request for packed breakfast one day before and you can have the breakfast in the car. If not we could get breakfast on the way.
On arrival at Kuala Tahan Jetty tour begins. No waiting as the nature guide and boat will be ready.
Jungle trek to the Canopy Walkway for a bird’s eye view of the world’s oldest rainforest.
The boatman skillfully negotiates 7 sets of rapids to reach an aborigine village where the ladies shy away and the men run away only to reappear with their fire-making and hunting tools for a native demonstration. You can partake in blowpipe and fire-making activities. These naïve people sustain their living with small farming, fishing, hunting smaller animals with their blowpipes, sell medicinal herbs and spices. The rainforest is their supermarket.
The special Taman Negara nature guide will belt out facts and taboos about the rainforest. He lives in Taman Negara and knows the terrain like the back of his hand.
After the trip in the rainforest, we will return to Kuala Lumpur arriving at approximately 6 pm.
