Day 2 – Belum Rainforest – jungle trek

After breakfast, you will discover this 130-million-year-old jungle in a small group with a guide. In contrast to the well-known Taman Negara, there are hardly any paved paths in this jungle, so you will take a boat across the reservoir and stop at various points to further explore the jungle on foot. You’ll go in search of the Rafflesia – the world’s largest flower, spot wildlife at a salt pan and enjoy a refreshing swim in a waterfall. A packed lunch will be served before the end of the tour.
