A visit to Taman Negara, however, is not complete until you have walked the
canopy. The world’s longest canopy walkway, built in Taman Negara and covers
a distance of 450 metres, provides a spectacular and breathtaking view of
the activities below. Tualang trees, the tallest in the tropical rainforest,
are used for this canopy which is 25 metres above the ground.
Fishing
Fishing enthusiasts will find Taman Negara an angler’s haven, with the many
rivers and streams that run through it. Areas of particular interests to
anglers would be the lower reaches of Sungai Tahan near Lata Berkoh and
Sungai Kenyam. The months of February, March, July and August provides the
best fishing opportunities. One of the many species of fish to be found here
is kelah (sceleropages formosus), a fast and agile fish that has been known
to put up a terrific fight when caught.
Jungle
Trekking
Jungle trekking offers an unforgettable opportunity for the visitor to
experience first hand the extraordinary beauty of nature at its best. From
the Park’s headquarters at Kuala Tahan, visitors may choose to explore a
number of marked trails like the Tahan Trenggan trail, the Neram trail and
the Bukit Teresek loop. Each trail promises a different adventure, yet all
are equally fascinating. These trails have been marked carefully so as not
to disturb the natural beauty of the surroundings. For a genuine jungle
adventure, pack up and try jungle trekking.
Cave Adventure
Taman Negara is a haven for all types of outdoor activities. Cave exploring,
also known as spelunking is definitely worth a try when you visit Taman
Negara. One of the more famous caves here, Gua Telinga (Ear Cave) is carved
out of limestone outcrop and is situated by a stream which runs through the
cave. Ancient drawings on the walls of the cave speak of a mysterious past.
The atmosphere in this cave is damp, dark and harbours a multitude of life
forms such as round leaf bats and race snakes. A climb to the top of Bukit
Guling Gendang offers a magnificient view of the emerald jungle 590 metres
below.
