PLANNING AN
ITINERARY
Depending on your interest and inclinations, a stay
at the Park may take anything from 2 to 4 days for some ; and may
be even more for others. There is so much to see and do to fill
your days.
Jungle Walks Amidst Sheer Tranquility
 Opt
for leisurely walks through the lowlands forest along scenic
jungle paths beautifully landscaped by Mother Nature. Immerse
yourself in the sights and sounds of the jungle as you cross
clear bubling streams beneath the shades of centuries old trees.
A short walk of 1.5km (from the resort) brings you to
the Canopy Walksway, a suspension bridge of strong ropes, cable,
net and wood hanging 40 metres above the ground! The walksway
offers visitors a scenic walk among the tree tops to observe
nature at close range.
 Jungle Trekking
For The More Energetic
For more active might prefer the tougher challenge of
jungle trekking along the numerous trails in the path. Trekking
along these trails may take as long as 9 days and require a
certain level of fitness but for some, it is a more rewarding
experience of an authentic jungle adventure.
Scaling The Highest Peak
Gunung Tahan offers the adventurous, the heady excitement
and challenge of mountain climbing. The journey up and down the
mountain takes an average of 9 days. Previous jungle trekking
experience would of course be an added advantage though not
necessarily a prerequisite.
Thrills And Spills Of Trips Up River
  A
leisurely 8km trip up Sungai Tahan to the Lata Berkoh Cascades
offers visitors the invigorating experience of swimming in the
cool waters of a deep pool below the falls. Then retreat to the
rocky area overlooking the rapids for your picnic lunch.
 The
more adventurous would perhaps prefer shooting the seven powerful
rapids of Sungai Tembeling. The 9.1km ride takes 45 minutes. Hang
on tight to your seat and be prepared to get drenched.
Landing Your Catch
Sungai Kenyam is the most popular spot for fishing while
the more placid waters of the pools at the  lower
reaches of Sungai Tahan are also known to be teaming with fish.
The best times for fishing are February, March, July and August.
The Kelah, known for its speed and weighing as much as 20lbs
offers irresistable challenge to even the experienced angler.
Exploring The Mysteries Of Nature's Caves
Two notable caves within the Park area are Gua Daun
Menari at Kuala Kenyam and Gua Telinga, less than an hour walk
from Kuala Tahan. The former attracts visitors with its
interesting rock formation and unique wildlife. Gua Telinga is a
limestone cave carved by a stream, another fine example of
natures ingenuity.
 Observing Wild
Life As Darkness Descends
This is a nocturnal activity worth the effort. There a
six hides scattered around the Park. Within the relative safety
of these hides, overlooking the salt licks and clearings,
visitors get a chance to observe the animals as they come to lick
up the water and soil for essential salts for their body.
 Orang Asli
Settlement
Visit Kampung Yong, home to the Batek tribe. Gain some
insights into the life of Orang Asli and see how they hunt and
survive in the wilds.
Bird Watching
Another popular activity within the Park. To keen bird
watchers will surely not leave the Park without spotting at least
a few of the 250 species reputedly to be found here.
